Dumbasses are confusing their metaphors per 86

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

It's deep six that they are confusing it with which means destroy or dispose of something irretrievably.

[Deuxcents]

1. Well..it's been quite a while ago but when I was a server, 86 meant there wasn't any more of that soup or the special

The servers knew when they took orders they could tell the customers we were out of that item. It surely didn’t mean the chef assassinated the special of the day.

6. Exactly! I was waitress when I was in college and, yes, 86 meant we were out of a certain item.

When the cook put up a sign saying "86 Chicken Pot Pie", he wasn't telling us to assassinate the Pot Pie!

2. But bust them on their precious 88 memes and tattoos

As well as their daily diet of death threats and violent screeds
And they'll start pouting about their own fucking free speech.
They're pathetic

[unblock]

3. It's not confusion, it's propaganda.

They've long since commandeered our political discourse. Even here, they e got us talking about this nonsense, whether or not comey threatened Donnie, instead or real issues like why tf are people accepting a fascist president in the first place and where are the calls for impeachment over his blatant grift and corruption and ignoring of the laws and the courts?

4. DEEP SIX 47 !

7. It means

any of the following:

to discard something (e.g., abandon)
to disregard (e.g., an order)
to stop or cease (e.g., an action)

It does not mean literally "kill" or "assassinate." I think there was one DUer implying that - but I have never heard it used in that sense.
I have never understood it to be construed as a threat to a life.

Like demented dogs, republicans like to snap at their own farts.
