    My first memory of “86"was from the princess diaries when Mia asks” can we 86 the flags", referring to the country-of-origin flags on diplomats cars.

    I’ve never understood how someone can twist “86 47” to mean to kill.

    If you hear someone say “remove that man” and think “these people want me dead” the you’re clearly not of rational mind, and are paranoid.

      Conservatives twist it that way because projection. If they had said “86 46” (which admittedly is more catchy) they would absolutely have intended violence, in spite of “86” not directly implying it.

      Every baseless accusation is a confession.
