c.f. the OSI (7 layer) reference model (physical, link, network, transport, session, presentation, application). "Layer 8" refers to variably the "political", "management", "lawyer", "business", or "money" layer, or some other element the speaker wishes to be denigrate as being technically irrelevant and therefore stupid. Nearly always followed by the word "issues" or "problem".
Not only was the ISO protocol stack technically over-engineered, it became far too embroiled in Layer 8 issues to ever become useful.

Yes, some of our Exchange users need IMAP, but some moron in the security group thinks it isn't "secure". It's a Layer 8 problem.

layer cake 

Noun. An expansion of the muffin top. A layer cake refers to both the roll of flesh bulging over tight fitting pants as well as the roll, or layer, of fatty flesh created by a tight fitting bra. The combination of fleshy rolls create a layered effect, ergo, the layer cake. While a muffin top can be sported by a woman of any size, a layer cake is a label generally attributed to larger women.
That woman's layer cake is jiggling whilst riding on the back of that motorcycle.
