They might be saying 'corner'. There's an old bet called the big six-eight that was located on the two corners either side of the stick. I think it didn't pay as well as placing the 6-8, or it was a duplicate, so it gradually went away. I could be wrong.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

I never understood why anyone with a clue would make that even money bet on placing six / eight.
Glad it's gone.

It's 'corner'. It's nearest to the player on the hook (person 3-4 away from stickman and base dealer).
It pays even money. You can either bet the 6, the 8, or both.

No, you're spot-on, Babs! I have had computer craps games that would occasionally call 6/8 both a 'corner rug 6/8' and a 'corner red 6/8.' I think the 'red' referred to the fact that the Big 6/Big 8 bets were printed in red on the layout. I have never heard either of these calls in an actual casino.
Common craps phrases cheatLike the Field Bet, the Big 6/Big 8 was designed as a self-service bet that is (sort of) self-explanatory to someone unfamiliar to the game. And like the Field, it carries a high edge. Craps layouts make the bad (high HE) bets easy to spot and easy to understand. The better bets are harder to find and/or harder to understand. Heck, the best bet on the table (odds) isn't printed anywhere!

I once bet on the Big 6/8 even-money bet. I had forgotten to use a $10 match-play offer that only could be used on even-money payouts. I remembered the match-play offer as I walked past a craps table en route to the parking garage. A roll was in progress, and I didn't have time to play. So I put it on (one of) the 6/8. Don't recall if I won or lost,
As best I recall, casinos still have the Big 6/8 on the layout. Has my memory failed me on such an important question as this? (Perish the thought!)Phrases

Disagree. The 6/8 'Corner Red' is mostly gone, and NJ outlawed it on crap tables as usurious.
Haven't seen it in ages.

This is a little off topic, but speaking of the 8 and 6 bets, I heard recently a story of the original of the term 86, as in to kick somebody out of somewhere in an informal way and not told not to return.
As I was told, the term comes from when organized crime controlled Vegas. To '86' someone meant to take them 8 miles out of town and bury them 6 feet deep.
