W8ing is an abbreviation for "waiting" that people use when they don't want to w8 while typing. Most people use it online, in text messages, and when gaming.
The "w" in the abbreviation is simply a "w" that combines with "8" and "ing" to sound like "waiting."

People also use it when gaming when waiting for other gamers to sign on.
