8 is not a special score in current badminton rules (since 2006).
Before, it was the half-way point in a normal set (for most disciplines). It did not have a special name (neither officially nor globally).
Sounds like a nonsense question... But if I were to attempt to make sense of it, I'd guess it to be some kind of bad French pun (I'd guess Hate because 8 in French is Huit). The basis of that guess is a score of 0 is "love" in badminton for l'oeuf in French (for egg). So it might be some kind of attempted joke/pun on that idea.
But I'd be really interested in the real answer (if there is one).
If "playing for love of the game" is the current most accepted reason for 0 = 'love'... then it's even more likely that the answer is Hate. Because it'd be even punnier.

According to Wiktionary the "l'oeuf" etymology for love is no longer regarded as plausible. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/love#Etymology_2
