Former FBI Director James Comey: "86 47"

[Billiejeens]

I had never heard of 86 meaning grave 8' long and 6' deep.

The "Cassell's Dictionary of Slang" is not common usage or meaning.
It can't be used on court as evidence.

{...
The term eighty-six was used in restaurants and bars, according to most late twentieth-century American slang dictionaries.
It is often used in food and drink services to indicate that an item is no longer available or that a customer should be ejected.
Beyond this context, it is generally used with the meaning to 'get rid of' someone or something.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the term as to "refuse to serve (a customer)", or to "get rid of" or "throw out" someone or something.
... The Oxford English Dictionary says it may be used as a noun or verb.<a
As a noun, "In restaurants and bars, an expression indicating that the supply of an item is exhausted, or that a customer is not to be served; also, a customer to be refused service. Also transferred."
As a transitive verb derived from the noun, it means "to eject or debar (a person) from premises; to reject or abandon".
The OED gives examples of usage from 1933 to 1981;<a
for example, in The Candidate, a media adviser says to Robert Redford's character, "OK, now, for starters, we got to cut your hair and eighty-six the sideburns".

According to Cassell's Dictionary of Slang, "to 86" also means "to kill, to murder; to execute judicially," likely referring to the size of a standard grave being 2.5 feet wide by 8 feet long and 6 feet deep....

The only way to remove him is through violence
There is no other option.

I know you are aware of what impeachment is, and since you think this constitutional process is unable to remove him from office, you’re basically admitting he’s an authoritarian dictator who would refuse to follow the constitution.

WHAT!!!!??!

Yes...can you believe it? he is saying he only found it there

86 has never been used to mean "assassination".

Negative.

Sigh, you've never heard of it being used that way because you're locked in that ivory tower of yours.

It's slang, and it means exactly what it means.

Take him 8 miles outside of town and put him 6 feet under, or, the more common definition of the dimensions of a grave, 2.5' by 8' by 6'

It's not hard when you live among the commoners, Rigby.

No President has ever been impeached and removed you single cell amoeba.

So we got the first two songs of the mix.

Do we start with 867 or Eleanor Rigby?

Heh.

 

[Mashmont]

Well this isn't at all threatening or frightening or unacceptable.

Remember he's one of the GOOD guys!



Gee, I wonder how this would play out if that were referring to a Democrat?

He's claiming he didn't know 86 could mean "to kill'. He's lying.

 

[Marener]

No President has ever been impeached and removed you single cell amoeba.

I guess that means impeachment doesn’t exist then?

Jesus, this is all so pathetic.

You are that.

 

[TemplarKormac]

I’m sure you think that.

Discussing it further is of no use. You are now religiously adherent to your own premise.

The only question is how long till you admit that nothing came of this. Give us a time frame.

Geez.

Cease your self-masturbatory rhetoric.

 

[Nostra]

Yes...can you believe it? he is saying he only found it there

He is lying, but it doesn’t matter.

He made it a call to action when he posted it.

Heh.
