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.
(Both players reluctant to show their hands at the end...)
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."
