Good morning all,

..............................................................................................................
It was deliberate. The Governor's staffer wrote about it in an email.

For those Forum Members of the rural areas and not having an urban dictionary on rolling top desk or work table with hand rotating grinding stone, the numbers can mean "to kill someone".

We do live in interesting times.

 

So now we have governors openly calling for the assassination of a sitting president.

Interesting times indeed, and dangerous.

 

86 is code for killing someone. Trump is the 45th president. What a horrible person, who does this type of thing?

 

From Wiki:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/86_(term)

According to Wikipedia, the work origin is unknown. May go back to the 1930s. Means to get rid of, to terminate, finish.

Speaking of which, Wiki is planning on deleting their definition. Apparently this definition gives aid to the enemy, i.e. responsible human beings.

So, here's another source:

On the streets meaning of 86

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=86'd

"To get rid of, originally for killing someone. The phrase '80 miles out and 6 feet under' was reserved for someone who had to dig their own grave 80 miles from civilization and then get shot execution-style. All terms for 86'd originated from this, be it alcohol or eliminating."

Here's a few more possible sources for "86":

https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/633627/gift-guide-for-hikers?utm_content=infinitescroll1

"Eight Feet Long, Six Feet Under"
"Perhaps the birth of this phrase occurred in death? The last time you can be “86’d” might be when they put you under the ground, as most standard graves are 8 feet long and 6 feet deep."

Whatever the origin, "86" = terminate.

Good afternoon Lonewolf,

Me, too. I never heard of it until I read and posted article.

Old Geezer's info augmented the meaning.

The only term I remember prior to this article was "Deep Six". I recall this meant get them off planet and bury body(s) in 6 fathoms of water. Believe a fathom was 6 feet/ 2 meters, thus 36 feet of water as place to rest ... until dining time for some.

Would guess the "burial at sea" was a convenient river.

 

eighty-six
[ˌādēˈsiks]
VERB
86 (verb)

1. eject or bar (someone) from a restaurant, bar, etc..
   "they were accused of cheating, and eighty-sixed from their favorite casino"
2. reject, discard, or cancel.
   "the passwords will be 86ed by next October"

This is a long way from any sort of assassination encouragement! I have no doubt that the entire Democratic party would like to 86 the President as would the Republicans were the situation reversed. This is just typical election year stupidity with little to NO real meaning.

 

Good morning TexDanm,

I'm using a much shorter distance.

The number "86" was next to the number "45", with "45" meaning the 45th POTUS.

The 4 numbers were positioned to be visible to the many cameras filming the desk.

I do assign the desk display as having meaning.
