The ordinal number '8' is often used in place of the phonemes that would make the sound 'ate' in written English. I say 'often', I actually mean 'often (by bumpers)' The habit could have originally developed among linux {fucktard]s in chatrooms, or 14 year old scrubbers text messaging on mobile phones. Either that or from 'old-school' rave act Altern8 (still DJ-ing in and around Stoke-on-Trent, kids!) Whichever way you look at it, it looks shit and dosn't make you look cool.
