Score two less (8)

'two less' is the second definition.

Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eighteen that I've seen before include "1.5 dozen" , "Nine times two" , "The genie in this number" , "when boy becomes man?" , "11/2 dozen" .)
