Until this I never knew 86 meant to kill someone. To me to  86 someone is to throw them out. Like the obnoxious drunk that grabs the waitress's T&A as they walk by, 86 da bum. It was always the establishment equivalent of a trespass without getting the cops involved.

That's what I understood as to usage, but I haven't lived in NY for decades.

"I've been 86ed from that bar for throwing up on the floor."

I suppose it could have morphed like "take care of somebody" has.

However, one of the "substrategies" of the Left is to amplify any "failing" or problem of the right, regardless of its importance or validity, as another "impact" in terms of public relations.  No reason we can't use the same tactic, is there?  It works just like gossip.

DIG, DIG, DIG.

POKE, POKE, POKE.

Even left jabs add up through ten rounds.

So poke, poke, poke, and dig, dig, dig at Comey.

Yes, 86 can mean other things. That's why it's not necessarily a death threat.


But according to the left, words mean things and stuff, and a statement must ALWAYS be taken in the most negative fashion.

Except when it's one of them saying it...

Funny how that works.

MAGA unto others as you would have them MAGA unto you!

Dogs are our link to paradise. They don’t know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring—it was peace. — Milan Kundera


The gift which I am sending you is called a dog, and is in fact the most precious and valuable possession of mankind

Exactly.  Another version of "I am rubber you are glue."

And that's how that works.

Works in the schoolyard.

Works in politics.

And another thing is that if Party A says "You are a dirty rotten Blurgschnartz" and Party B comes back with the same "You are a dirty rotten Blurgschnartz," people remember and are more influenced by the last thing they heard.
