What does 86 mean?

Back in the mob days, when someone said “go 86 him” - it meant to drive a person 8 miles out into the desert and put him 6 feet into the ground
Comey is full of shite claiming he didn’t know what 86 meant. He needs to be charged

It means to kill something. We used it when I worked in restaurants to communicate we were out of a product. A "dead" menu item that needs to be communicated.

Working in a restaurant in college, it was for getting rid of something.
You want a burger, no tomatoes. This would be sent back as burger, 86 tomatoes.

I have never heard this, ever.
When I worked in a restaurant in college, we would "86" items on the menu when we ran out. It was also used to get rid of something or to stop something that you are doing. I have never heard "86" as referring to murder or assassination.

I know that 96 means that you and your wife are not talking and that you’re sleeping back to back yet your head is sleeping at her feet and her head is sleeping at your feet…… but facing the other way.

Now in context of 86 47, it means to eliminate or get rid of Trump, which is dubious.

It is a context needed phrase but when discussing a person it’s always been about them being gone, no more or simply dead

Yep. I remember from my high school days working in fast food.

Throw it away, discard, get rid off.

In my experience, it was almost always used in the context of having run out of an item.

It means to get rid of something. It does not necessarily mean to kill something and the stories of its origin are all indeterminate. Restaurant lingo, mob lingo; nobody really knows.
Greyhound had an ad campaign in the 70s or 80s that used the word in a jingle, something about 86ing other options besides Greyhound. I don't think they were advocating killing people who worked for Trailways.

Webster dictionary says it means to get rid of…. What level is up to interpretation of the actions of the person. I’d think a hit man would mean kill. Someone political could literally remove from office. How? Election, impeachment, etc.

Nobody gives a shite what it originally mean. Everyone today knows that it means to kill someone or to take something of the menu.... aka kill it.
Comey is a liar. OBVIOSLY. What I am curious to know, is how many morons actually believe he didn't know this? Millions will say he didn't know but what small fraction of those parrots in real life actually believe he didn't know what it meant?

Yall are all fricking idiots that spend every moment of your day looking to be victimized or afraid.

That's not the standard use in restaurants, in my experience.
The kitchen would 86 an item from the menu when they ran out of something so the servers didn't try to sell it to customers.

You must live a sheltered existence.
