Shady way of announcing a pair of eights in poker to sound like "aces", in hopes that your opponent will fold or muck their cards and let you take the pot.

Josh: "Pair of nines."
Sue: "Eightses." (winning expression)
(Josh returns cards to dealer unshown before he actually looks at hers.)
Josh: "Dude, I had you beat! I thought you said aces."
Sue: "Nope, eightses. You mucked, sucka."
