One side in eight-ball pool

I believe the answer is:

solids

(Other definitions for solids that I've seen before include "They're not hollow" , "Three-dimensional objects" , "Food, as opposed to drinks" , "Three-dimensional shapes" , "Bodies or shapes with three dimensions" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
