  1. Google "what does 86 mean?" These are the most commonly used meanings, no mention of murder. What you found on casino.com and urban dictionary are used in gangster movies admittedly. But you had to seek them out because they are not the common usage. Results from googling "what does 86 mean?" follow. ========================= Eighty-six is slang meaning "to throw out," "to get rid of," or "to refuse service to." It comes from 1930s soda-counter slang meaning that an item was sold out. verb INFORMAL•NORTH AMERICAN verb: 86 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.

  2. No, you searched to find a narrow meaning that you wanted to find and ignored the widely accepted meaning because you have an axe to grind.
  3. You had to search for what you wanted to find in gangster-related websites "casino myths" or something was your first, as far as the "urban dictionary" it features lot of hip, cool slang that no one uses. To use my previous example "wise guy", urban dictionary uses wise guy means a 'made man' in the mafia as its first definition and wise guy means 1. A smart aleck. 2.One who makes snide, sardonic and concieted comments and genereally acts like an arrogrant bastard. as the second meaning which is the more common meaning outside of mafia movies. to evaluate the professionalism of the Urban Dictionary note 3 misspellings in one line. If you Google "what does 86 mean?" you get pages of "sources" showing it as related to the food and hospitality industry. 10 pages of results, I looked at the first two pages dozens of entries, no meanings related to murder. So you made a directed search for the meaning you wanted and found a couple of references that showed murder as the meaning to Vegas gangsters. Are you suggesting that the shells Comey photoed were placed there by a Vegas gangster? Maybe "Tony the Shell Writer" as he is known in the underworld?
  4. My point is that this is commonly used language and has been for a long time. No need to go to the internet, no need to have a source any more than I need a source for the meaning of "raining cats and dogs". If you do go to the internet you will find dozens of references to use of 86 in the restaurant and hospitality industry, none of them to do with murder. As an analogous case the term "wise guy" used often by Moe Howard (need to look him up?) you will find "sources" that wise guy means a mafia guy or a mobster. This is obviously an adoption of that meaning from the movies, when the meaning of wise guy is just a smart mouthed person.
  5. Didn't need to go on the internet to learn everyday barroom slang. Nothing esoteric about getting 86ed, it means thrown out and banned from a bar.
  6. 86 is slang for being expelled and banned from a bar, not for murder. So to 86 Trump would mean to throw him out of office, not to kill him.
  7. Yes, I am learning today that race is not an issue in the matter of George Floyd's death. I have been grossly misinformed.
  8. Huh, so you're saying that race isn't an issue in a discussion of George Floyd. Well, ya learn sumthin' new every day.
  9. Cuz Riclag has an axe to grind. One of several actually. 12K+ posts all rock throwing of one kind or another.
  10. Gotta love your posts that seem intended to show that you are normal.
  11. And you are Googling it? Perhaps you reveal more than you intend grasshopper.
  12. Of course, you are ungay... but do you find yourself inexplicably drawn to comment on discussions of gay events? Maybe even comment multiple times? But as you say, you are ungay.
  13. "I think one can draw the line between love and shoving ones tongue up some fat hairy guys bunghole while wearing leather and making your partner call you Mommy" In spite of what you say you either know a lot about gay sex or have some pretty elaborate fantasies about it.
  14. I've been watching a lot of lesbian sex videos to try and understand them. I think I've made a lot of progress but probably I will need to watch a lot more to really get a significant understanding.
  15. Right "needs vs wants" 3rd grade social studies concept. As you get to high school there is the over-refined Maslow's hierarchy but the 3rd grade concept should cover this one. It's a bribe.
  16. Is there a COVID booster for current variants? Is it being recommended by public health agency in Thailand?
  17. Of course some members are just A-holes. Maybe "though" guys.
  18. Of course not all AN members but many are well-described by this : "Blind to their own faults, self praising and self satisfied. Appalling." Amazing how many find any thread an opportunity to brag. Even "What did you have for breakfast?" threads.
  19. "Oh dear! Where to begin????" How about not at all? MYOB. You make my point about expats to avoid, jeez talk about triggered.
  20. Why ya gotta be so mean? What he said seems harmless enough.
  21. Most commonly I speak with the other farang residents of my condo. Nice, pleasant, sensible people. Maybe 10 in all, some of whom don't want to engage. I agree with the OP that in general I tend to be reluctant to engage farangs when out and about. My experience is that I find myself trying extricate myself from any conversation as opposed to wanting to exchange contact info. Bores, scammers, braggarts, are over-represented here. If your experience is different, more power to you.
  22. I hope the Palestinians can find leadership that looks to the future and to the well-being of the Palestinian people. Historically their leadership has failed them.
  23. The article from Turbli does not look like hate and ignorance. It contains a lot of interesting historical information about engineering development. There can be disagreement about conclusions without there being hate and ignorance.
  24. Brilliant rewrite of "I know you are but what am I". Congratulations.
  25. The thing that strikes me is the purging of historical material from military archives. Trying to re-write history is only done by authoritarian regimes. Purging records and photos of Jackie Robinson, the Tuskegee Airmen, and Rosa Parks if I am not mistaken.
