Judge or jury is going to quickly '86' the Comey indictment

Aaron Rupar @atrupar
REP. MARK ALFORD: James Comey is a very intelligent man. I would assume he knows what the term '86' means. I was a waiter for some time. When you 86 the order, you kill the order. When you 8647, that is tantamount to saying 'kill the president'

KEILAR: When you 86 an order, you get rid of the order, but you're not killing the food

ALFORD: It's the same principle






Eighty-six is slang meaning "to throw out," "to get rid of," or "to refuse service to." It comes from 1930s soda-counter slang meaning that an item was sold out. There is varying anecdotal evidence about why the term eighty-six was used, but the most common theory is that it is rhyming slang for nix.
