The O8
O8 or O8'er refers to the area or a resident of the 93308 ZIP code encompassing Northwest Bakersfield and Oildale. It is commonly divided into two sections, Royaldale (west side and suburban wealth) and Oildale (east side and poorer). While both these areas hold different customs and values, both are defined by their collective community pride, conservative values, barbecue, eternal Raiders fanbase, a love of ripped/old-ass oversized clothes, and a small town vibe despite the double digit population. O8'er is most commonly used as a point of pride and local identity, with the name even being used on a local speciality barbeque rub known as "O8'er Rub," sold in local convenience stores. The identity is used to differentiate residents of the 93308 zip code from other neighborhoods and unincorporated communities in Bakersfield.
"O8'er for life!"
"Keep those transplants out or else we are gonna lose the O8."
"See that overly tanned middle-aged white guy in a sleeveless Budweiser T-shirt and Daisy dukes? Yeah, that's a true O8'er."
