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 {fucktards 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.
"C U L8R M8!!!!!"

"He was a sk8r boi..."

"I'd rather menstru8 a ten ton w8 than write in such an illiter8 way, dude."

The most symmetrical number of all. No matter how you split it, it will be symmetrical.
Kid: What are you two doing out here? Aren't you late?
Soul: School starts at 7, it's 10, technically you're late too.
Kid: Don't say 7!
Soul: What?
Kid: Say 8! 8 is the perfect number. Symmetrical in all ways.
