The government has myriad wiretaps and I never heard on those released a gangster using 86 as an instruction to eliminate an
opponent. On the Gotti tapes he would instruct an underling to wack an opponent, take care of an opponent, but never 86 him.

(53,361 posts)To 86 someone was to ban them from the business. He would probably fit the criteria we often used.

(14,064 posts)I unfriended most of my high school grad class of '82 when they were all passing around viral prayer for the President to die. That prayer didn't contribute to raising the temperature of the national dialogue at all, I'm sure. Red State old fuckers, most of us suck!

(4,570 posts)... 86 has meant, "We're out of it, so it's off the menu". But, to a delicate snowflake like Trumpleforeskin, I suppose it could sound like a threat. Poor baby.

How can someone be 8 miles out and 6 feet under? Thats idiotic.
Lifeafter70
(1,187 posts)Depending on what you were referencing.
It could mean to take something off the menu or kick a customer out and ban him.
My mom owned a small family restaurant and we used it mostly in regards to taking something off the menu.

(151,487 posts)I've always heard it said just before some drunken asshole gets ejected from a bar, as in: "Jimmy - Go 86 that asshole." Then, Jimmy, the bouncer, shows the guy the door.

(101,975 posts)I never heard 86 mentioned.
MineralMan
(151,487 posts)Not my genre in movies. Frankly, the only time I've heard it use was with regard to bouncers kicking assholes out of bars. I also remember a bartender telling a belligerent drunk that he was 86ed and not to come back ever again.

as soon as it reaches a reasonable judge. This 2-count indictment is embarrassingly stupid. But they dont know how stupid they are.

Where are they buried?
It's a desperate MAGA attempt to justify the unjustifiable (and un-American).

(26,103 posts)86 means to remove. Like at a restaurant or bar or any form of entertainment to 86 someone is to remove them from the venue - period the end. The rest is the usual made up maggot lies.
obamanut2012
(29,478 posts)It has never meant to kill.

(14,064 posts)back in college in the 80's, 86 meant we had run out of a menu item and not to take any more orders for it. Obviously that was a long time ago but I have never heard anything different. Trump would know more about gangsters than me for sure, though.

(29,957 posts)What you said is exactly what Comey meant when he posted that image, he said so in an interview from months ago on MSNow or MSNBC depending on when it was aired.

MineralMan
(151,487 posts)written in 1947. I remember a copy of it in my parents bookcase. It was a weird little book about a man who could hurt people by pointing at them ans saying "Zotz!"
I don't remember reading it, but that's what I understood it to be about. I don't know if it was a best seller or not, though.

Interesting that you remember the book.
MineralMan
(151,487 posts)I'm surprised I didn't read it, though. I read most of the books in that bookshelf. I was a reading fool as a kid. I read everything I could get my hands on. Somehow, I didn't read that one, though.

Amazon often has old stuff, Earle Stanley Gardener, Rex Stout, Spillane, MacDonald, et al available in Kindle editions for a buck or two.
Should you wish to be amazed that we survived past childhood, L. Douglas Keeney's 15 Minutes: General Curtis LeMay and the Countdown to Nuclear Annihilation will remind you of what the bottom of your school desk, or the lockers in the hallway looked like.

If MAGAts post that Somalis here are eating cats, dogs, pets, should we gather police reports and statistics to prove them wrong?
If MAGAts post that "4547" is a magical number that the holder uses to turn lead into gold, must we answer with an essay about alchemy?
IOW, why give idiocy the time of day? Comey's case will be thrown out.

How many of us who waited tables in the past many decades knew what 86 meant? It meant it was out.
We want Pedo OUT. It does not mean what they say it means in any stretch.
But our media will run with this to please Pedo.
