We've discussed 420, PNP, etc. but I've been seeing "88" in profiles lately. I'm fairly certain it's not the age :+ Any ideas on what this means?

Cool, I'm the first to guess, the escort likes to play the piano

The symbol "88" is used by white supremacists groups. It is derived from HH (Heil Hitler).

 

You're not surfing the KKK's personals, are you?

Yikes, I had no idea it would be that extreme! Thanks for the info, and no, I'm not surfing KKK personals. I've seen it in some AOL profiles (not escort profiles).

Closest I could find, in terms of a drug reference, when doing a quick google search is that "80" is apparently slang for OxyContin. Of course, 88 also refers to piano keys and, in CB radio jargon, "love and kisses". Maybe you're looking at the profiles of very affectionate piano players? :-)

I noticed an "88" sticker on the rear sliding window of a pickup truck yesterday. I didn't look to see if the occupants were skinheads, but I would go along with the CB explanation. The original post mentioned seeing it in connection with escort ads, right?
