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."
