A term popularized in video game "Team Fight Tactics" when describing a playstyle of taking (usually greedy) risks with the ultimate goal of winning the game (first) while knowing that the risk can otherwise lose the player the game (eighth).

The term is flexible as it can be used even when there are fewer than 8 players alive in the lobby. For instance, the term can be used by a player in a lobby of only two players left. This playstyle indicates that the player considers any placing other than first to be an eighth.

Extra clever.
Earthbound spirit.
Ghost in the form, of a mongoose.
And I have hands.
And I have feet.
I'll never die, I am a freak.
Hello, I'm here, I'm living in the wall, I know I might be small, but I am a...
Freak.
Thou wilt never, know what I am.
I am the fifth dimension, and I'll split the atom.
And if you see me, you're paralyzed.
Pillar of salt, you're mummified.
Hello, I'm here, I'm living in the wall. I know, I might be small, but I am the eighth wonder.
And I was born, 1852.
And I was born, in India.
And I shall haunt, like the Buggane.
With such weird noise, and clanking chains.
Hello, I'm here, I'm living in the wall. I know I might be small, but I am a...
Freak.
I stay banished to underground.
Jim, let me go. I watch like Hell.
And I have hands, and I have feet.
I'll never die, I am a freak.
Hello, I'm here, I'm living in the wall. I know I might be small, but I am the eighth wonder.
Eighth wonder of the world.

The average time it takes a weed lover to smoke their eighth. The length of an eighth week varies depending on several variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, size of bank account, employment status, and boredom level of the weed consumer.
Guy 1: How long is your eighth week since you got fired?
Guy 2: Dude, only like two days.
Guy 1: Whoa.

Guy 1: Man, I haven't seen that girl in an eighth week.
Guy 2: How long is that?
Guy 1: I don't know, like 4 days.

Scientist 1: We are running low on supplies, we must increase the size of our eighth week until this crisis is over.
Scientist 2: This is bullshit.

A sad attempt at getting pre-teens (13 to 14 years old) ready for high school. The teachers are idiotic, the homework is intense, and the cliques are brutal. Consists of Preps, Jocks, Skater boys, Emo kids, Normals, and the Anorexic idiots.
Another grueling day in an Eighth grade PE-locker room...

*OMG my freaking hair is like, messy.* ~Prep
*So fix it.* ~Normal
*I'M SOOOOO FAT!* ~ Anorexic girl
*At least your hair isn't bad!*~ Prep
*(whispering) Bitches.* ~Emo/Scene girl
*GO KILL YOURSELF!* ~Prep
(Jock guy heard from outside)
*Let me in babyyyyyyy!* ~Jock
*(smirking) Wouldn't you like to....* ~Prep
(Prep goes outside in minimal clothing to greet her jock boyfriend. Skaters whistling at this)
