MAGA Is Saying 86 Means 8 Miles Out And 6 Feet Under In Gangster Parlance

[DemocratSinceBirth]

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.

[Kid Berwyn]

1. "86" means "to trash"

As in "Dump." Trump.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. To Fire

[Kid Berwyn]

4. Exactly.

When Trump demanded his fealty, Comey shoulda gone along and gathered evidence needed to arrest, try and convict the no-good traitor.

[PatSeg]

55. I've worked in bars and restaurants

To 86 someone was to ban them from the business. He would probably fit the criteria we often used.

[True Dough]

3. If applicable to the Comey case, which it surely isn't,

it comes nowhere close to "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again."

[Whyisthisstillclose]

5. MAGA parrots anything convenient to their side of the issue. They are morons.

[EYESORE 9001]

6. Are these non-English speaking people?

A cursory glance at the etymological record shows nothing of the sort. Of course, to a mobbed-up schlub like the orange menace, everything is couched in online terms.

[Coldwater]

7. James Comey took a picture of a group of seashells

someone arranged in the sand on a nearby beach and posted the pic on his Instagram account - that's it.

Yep, seems like a threat to me.....lol...

[pwb]

8. I think I remember pictures of Democrats in the cross hairs of a rifle scope?

But that is not a threat I guess when pukes do it.

[get the red out]

25. On FB when Obama was elected

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!

[Clouds Passing]

9. 86 is a restaurant term meaning to let's say hold the ketchup.

[GiqueCee]

22. But in general restaurant parlance...

... 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.

[kysrsoze]

29. I believe the restaurant reference was to a customer who is banned...

and no longer allowed at the establishment.

How can someone be 8 miles out and 6 feet under? That’s idiotic.

[Lifeafter70]

32. It had several meanings in the restaurant industry

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.

[Clouds Passing]

43. Or removing something from the order, "I'll have a cheeseburger but 86 the onions."

[sinkingfeeling]

10. Guess no MAGA has ever worked in a diner.

[Torchlight]

11. For snowflakes who demand English Only,

they certainly do posses a rather obvious (and ironic) lack of knowledge of the very language they deify.

[eShirl]

12. they're making it up

everyone knows better

[sop]

13. There goes MAGA, mixing their metaphors again: the water "8 miles out" is typically deeper than "6 feet under."

[LR3]

14. I presume MAGAts are calling for

Jack "Pizza Basement" Posobiec to be prosecuted as well? For when he posted 86 46 in 2022?

[crazylikafox]

15. I guess they would know

[UpInArms]

16. Did any one of them ever work in a restaurant?

86 was there is none left in the kitchen

[MineralMan]

17. Well, they know "gangster parlance" intimately, don't they?

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.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

33. I've literally watched dozens of mob movies

I never heard 86 mentioned.

[MineralMan]

37. Well, you have me beat, for sure.

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.

[dalton99a]

49. +1

[Walleye]

51. Exactly. When a customer is 86ed you don't serve him any more alcohol, that's it.

[RussBLib]

18. This indictment will be tossed

…as soon as it reaches a “reasonable” judge. This 2-count indictment is embarrassingly stupid. But they don’t know how stupid they are.

https://russblib.blogspot.com/?m=1

[MineralMan]

38. Yes. I think you're right.

I can hear the judge now: "Get out of my courtroom with that garbage!"

[-misanthroptimist]

19. I repeat:

All those people 86'd from bars and restaurants were killed?

Where are they buried?

It's a desperate MAGA attempt to justify the unjustifiable (and un-American).

[lark]

20. MAGAT's Lie - that and produce hate and protect R criminals is what they do.

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]

21. It comes from rhyming slang --86nix

It has never meant to kill.

[Johonny]

23. And they thought pizza orders were code words

For secret pedophile transactions...

Deep Thinking and membership in MAGA are not usually highly correlated events.

[get the red out]

24. When I was a restaurant server

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.

[AZProgressive]

45. I seen from one of the older news clips

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.

[blm]

26. Bands were regularly '86ed' at the Troubador by a thin-skinned manager.

Meaning…..they would no longer be booked. He was never indicted for that. 🙄

[NoSheep]

27. I thought it meant "take it off the specials board"

[NoSheep]

28. I bombed a school and you wrote take it off the specials board in seashells

[RoeVWade]

30. Thousands of people should probably carry 8647 at any future No Kings protest.

Followed by words, "Impeach and remove."

[rzemanfl]

31. Movie gangsters would say "Zotz,"

not "86." I think "Zotz 47" will be my sign on Friday.

[MineralMan]

39. "Zotz!" was the title of a novel

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.

[rzemanfl]

41. I was born in August of that year, so I didn't read it.

The book was made into a movie-
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zotz!

Interesting that you remember the book.

[MineralMan]

47. Well, I didn't notice the book until I was about 10.

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.

[rzemanfl]

53. I read a lot as a kid. Still do. n/t

[MineralMan]

54. A very good habit!

I'm still doing it, too. It's one way to learn new things.

[rzemanfl]

57. I mostly read fiction on my Kindle.

Carl Hiaasen, John Sandford, Randy Wayne White, Walter Mosley, Elmore Leonard and others. Our library has a good selection of digital books.

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.

[rzemanfl]

42. In addition to meaning to murder or kill someone, and the movie

there is also a candy by that name.

[MineralMan]

46. I missed that.

[John1956PA]

34. They are confusing the term with "Deep-Six" which means "to bump off."

The term "Eighty-Six" means simply "toss it out" as far as I can determine.

[LeftInTX]

35. So are they gonna charge Comey with "Attempted Assasination"?

This is going to get real old, real fast.

Trump is a baby hypochrondriac. "Nobody has had more assasination attempts than me".....

I remember my father in law spent years "dying" from numerous ailments. It got real old....In the end, he committed suicide.

[ProfessorGAC]

36. They're Lying

It was gangster parlance but had nothing to do with a hit.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

40. They pulled that from the same place they keep their heads.

[harumph]

44. That can't be true because we always take them at least 10 miles out.

[ColoringFool]

50. The Trick Here, Is To Ignore Their Bait Completely.....

If MAGAts post that the sky is actually a paisley design in orange and olive green, should we argue atmospheric science with them?

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.

[AllyCat]

52. That would be an expensive task for struggling restaurants when

a menu offering is no longer available to patrons.

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.

[purr-rat beauty]

56. They obviously can't do math

8+6+4+7 = 25th Amendment

Anyways....they love a rapist, fuck them
