I’m out of the loop, what does this mean?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

the meaning has been explained above. the importance is that james comey was the first to send the message.

James Comey got us into this situation so I don't feel like I care about anything they say

there's a LOT to this story that we don't yet know. i'm not knocking your comment, but it'll be interesting to see what actually happened if this all shakes out

8646 was apparently being said in maga circles a few years back about Biden.

Their outrage is just hypocrisy.

meh. it's a meme and could theoretically work all the way back to Polk. gotta say, though, there's a poetic rhythm to "eighty-six forty-seven"

86 = get rid of / end

47 = the 47th US presidency (Trump's 2nd term)

Its bar/restaurant speak. Not sure on the etymology of it though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

because Google and society etc? you couldn't look it up instead of typing out that question? weird.

"The term "86" is American slang primarily used in the hospitality industry to indicate that an item is no longer available or that a customer should be ejected. Its origins are unclear, but it is believed to have originated in the 1930s, possibly from soda jerk slang meaning "sold out" or "to get rid of." "

don't worry, we all see that you're replying to someone who didn't ask that question in good faith.
