Donny Two Scoops doubles down on '86' as mob term after Comey indictment

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Donald Trump doubled down on his claim that the term "86" is a "mob term" for a killing as former FBI Director James Comey faces a federal indictment over a social media post of seashells arranged to read "86 47."

"'86' is a mob term for 'kill him.' They say 86 him! '86 47' means 'kill President Trump,'" Trump wrote in a social media post Wednesday night, before going on to assail Comey as a "Dirty Cop" who "knows this full well!"

Comey, who was indicted on Tuesday by a federal grand jury in North Carolina, made an initial court appearance on Wednesday after self-surrendering to law enforcement at the courthouse in the Eastern District of Virginia. Comey did not enter a plea.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary, which lists several definitions of "eighty-six," says the most common use for the informal saying is to describe a way "to refuse to serve" or "to eject or ban" a customer from a restaurant or bar. The dictionary says it's often used as a way to say something has been removed. The American Heritage dictionary says the term may have derived as a rhyming slang for "nix."
