The slang term "to 86" means to throw out. Which is what the courts are going to do. Throw it out.

Eighty-six or 86 is American English slang used in the hospitality industry and in the military and intelligence communities.

In the hospitality industry, it is used to indicate that an item is no longer available, traditionally from a food or drinks establishment, or referring to a person or people who are not welcome on the premises. Its etymology is unknown, but the term seems to have been coined in the 1920s or 1930s.

Military personnel might use "86" to refer to scrapping equipment (e.g., "That old radio got 86'd") or ending a plan or mission (e.g., "The op was 86'd due to bad weather"). It's not an official term in military doctrine or manuals, but it's part of the informal jargon and culture of soldiers, sailors, and airmen due to its common and frequent use, and is a concept military members are assumed to understand, although it originates in broader civilian language.

From what I've heard, Comey has already said that "he knew it was political, but he didn't know what 86 meant".

Trump is the 47th President.

I saw the Urban Dictionary link for it surprisingly close to the top of the first page on a Google result, when none of the traditional dictionaries seemed to directly say it meant to kill somebody.

Here's the Urban Dictionary link for it: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=86

86
1. To run out of a menu item.
2. To end, stop, or cut off.
3. To get rid of (usually in reference to a person, often a coworker...sometimes viewed jokingly as a euphimism for killing them)

---

Even there, it's got multiple meanings, and killing isn't at the top of them.

But that's how both underground and youth culture work. I'm not too old to remember that. It's why the kids are doing that "Skibidy" shit today. They like being able to talk to each other without their adults knowing exactly what they're talking about. I'm sure if the internet was out when we were kids and young people were all getting together like that back then we'd have practically made our own language too.

For Comey to be a suit wearing, 64 year old white guy and put out a message like that which could resonate with both the young and the criminals but at the same time have complete deniability speaks a lot to his street knowledge. Or at the very least he should be proud of the people on his team who came up with the idea.

I've heard most people talking about this as a threat.

I don't view it that way. I don't think Comey was threatening anything at all.

I think what we just witnessed was one of those fabled Dog Whistles that the Left used to always talk about a few years back. I'm pretty sure he just let everyone know that as far as he (and possibly others) are concerned, they've got the green light.

Would most crazy not-in-the-inner-circle folk like Second know what that meant? Nah. I don't think that was meant for our benefit.

In fact, I don't think it was meant to be up for very long and I don't think he probably was expecting anybody who mattered to actually see it. I was surprised to see he had 130,000 followers on Instagram, but really... When is the last time he's been in the news cycle? Who among normal folk would actually follow his instagram?

Pretty sure this was supposed to be a "hidden in plain sight" thumbs up that somebody was looking out for. Just apparently at least one more somebody than he was hoping had eyes on it.

It would be interesting to know who saw that and alerted the President's people. I wonder if that was somebody on staff or if there are random people like you and I following people like him to look out for things like this. I could see either scenario having played out here.

I find myself mildly surprised that there is so much confusion here. But this forum is not very diverse, anymore.


Article 86 of the UCMJ is defined as Absent Without Leave. During and after Vietnam, this was one of the most frequent UCMJ Articles drilled into recruits in Boot Camp. Desertion was another.

Ted recently announced he voted for Nixon while in the military. Sloppyseconds claims that he was in Vietnam. So they would both be familiar with it.
Sigs claims to know all about the military, which might be why she is so often wrong.
I'm not sure about Brenda. I think she knows folk who were in the Military, maybe even USA, but maybe not enough to know the 86 reference.
No surprise the Resident Illiterate doesn't have a clue.
The online clueless community, no surprise there.


Technically, the logical slang usage would be the first of the quoted. But I don't recall it specifically being used as slang in that meaning. But having a menu item run out, no longer available, makes sense.

We know Ted. The adults have been discussing this already.

Your presence here is unnecessary and unwelcome.

Maybe that note was in reference to all of the cases levied against President 47 that have all been thrown out.
