86

Despite much exaggerated and performative recent political pearl clutching by Trump's enforcers (who claim to be reversing so called 'lawfare' of previous administration's, while simultaneously weaponizing the US legal system against perceived and very imagined 'enemies from within'), the term 86 or Eighty-Six, originated as, and has almost exclusively been used as a term to mean "remove", "reject", or "expel" someone or something from the premises. If I got 86'd from a bar, I was simply removed, and maybe blacklisted from reentry to that bar. I was not marked for execution, and no threat of killing me would exist.

There is a separate, very similar code number, that is used exclusively to mean "kill" or "murder". That code number (originating with police force use of code numbers), is 186, or One-Eight-Six. This similar number is so well known by the public, that it runs rampant in gang culture and rap lingo as a synonym for killing or murder.

Recent events indicate seashells that spell "8647" mean simply that: "Remove Trump" from office. All related, recent hysteria surrounding this message should be saved for someone stupid enough to post seashells spelling out "18647".

I saw seashells that read 8647, I assume that means the creator wants to 86, or simply, remove Trump from Office. I sure hope no one would be stupid enough to write 18647 in shells, as that could be taken as a true assassination threat!

To '86' something is to render it unusable. The AIEE- American Institute of Electrical Engineers employs the use of a lockout relay that turns the equipment off--Like tripping a breaker (for those who have trouble understanding, imagine blowing a fuse). It turns whatever you're using off, therefore "86-ing" it. It's been in use nationwide since 1928, so it's plausible that the term may have originated from electricians!

All those Christmas lights just 86'd my entire block!
