do oito ao oitenta


Explanation:
Atenção que não tenho a certeza que seja isso, mas acho que já ouvi essa expressão nalgum lado e, se bem me lembro, o significado era aquele.

Não sei porquê, quando li a frase, pensei em qualquer coisa do tipo "vindas de todos os lados".

É só uma sugestão, não tenho mesmo a certeza.
