They’re shorthand for long words you don’t want to type. You keep the first and last letter and replace the rest of the word with the number of characters you removed.

And I thought that "8" had something to do with "netes" because it somewhat resembles the pronunciation 🤦‍♂️

I18n is the only one that clues in for me (internationalization).
