five to eight

something that is five to eight is something that is slim, literally (a tie-where it originated), figuratively (chances, the likelihood, etc.), generally unlikely or only slightly likely. the term derives from the time 7:55, or five to eight, when the chances of getting to 8 o'clock class in time are very slim/uncertain.

1-dude that tie is five to eight as hell!
2-yeah, its only like an inch wide!

or

1-what are the chances of us getting caught?
2-pretty five to eight, shots is on duty tonight

Dressed to the Eights

Anyone (male or female) who is wearing clothing to attend a society event, concert, wedding, funeral, rave, or other social gathering that is not anything approaching appropriate attire for the event in question, yet the person so dressed believes that they are the envy of other people attending the event because their clothing is cool when it is actually uncool, expensive when it is actually cheap, and fashionistas are probably mistaking them for celebutantes.

"James! Who is God's name is that person Dressed to the Eights over by the punch bowl? Did you invite him? Isn't that a plastic Dracula cape from Wal-Mart and part of a Harry Potter costume?"
