A term that was coined during our
college years.
When you see someone that you know but you
don't feel like talking to them, you do what you would do at 8 o'clock in the morning on your way to class (probably after a heavy
night of drinking and a keg stand or two) and you are absolutely not in the mood for small talk, you look down or pretend not to see them.
Dude 1: "I
saw Jane on the street yesterday."
Dude 2: "Did you say hello?"
Dude 1: "Hell no, I wasn't in the
mood, gave her the 8 o'
clock."
