    It's apparently neo-nazi code. The eighth letter of the alphabet is H, so HH, Heil Hitler.

    I didn't know either and had to look it up.

    It's probably more well known as Nazi code in centeal europe than in other parts of the world. No one in their right mind in the german speaking areas would use 88 in their personal marketing.

    I also did a quick search, and somehow oversaw the Nazi connection among the innocent other words...

    88 is a natural number with various mathematical and cultural properties. It is also associated with fortune, love, neo-Nazism, hip hop and time travel.
