Welcome to this weekly English expression episode on the Aussie English podcast!

Today’s expression is “behind the eight ball”.

Yes! This English expression came from the game 'pool' or 'pocket billiards' where the striped black ball is a number 8.

I will tell you a joke about a bull -- no, it's not bullsh___!

I will also answer a question from IG follower Fantin who asks "What do you say in English when someone sneezes?" - listen in for a quick lesson on Connected Speech!
Then, we will break down the meaning of the words in the expression. There will also be example situations where you can use the expression “behind the eight ball”.

And finally, don’t forget to download this episode’s FREE worksheet and listen to a clip from the Aussie movie Red Dog.

Remember, you can play back the audio so you can listen to the dialogue!
