Do people really think “86” means “get rid of”?

Do people really think “86” means “get rid of”? Have these people never worked a job that their daddy didn’t hand to them?
When a restaurant writes “86 Potato Skins” on the board it means WE RAN OUT OF POTATO SKINS. DO NOT SELL POTATO SKINS BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE ANYMORE.
If they are trying to get rid of the potato skins they put them on the specials board.

@maggiejk The other main usage is cutting off or refusing service to a customer, especially in a bar.
I wager that's where the "get rid of" comes from.

@maggiejk you’re applying logic and reason to something that unreasonable and irrational people are clinging onto.
The thing is, they KNOW what it means. It just doesn’t matter. They are trying to control the narrative because everyone who is not them is the enemy and therefore must be controlled or exterminated. -

@maggiejk agree but maga is crazy people doing stupid stuff. So this is just another example of stupid.

@GramrgednAngel @maggiejk Yeah, it's been used to mean "kill" by extension. From what I can tell, this is mostly when screenwriters need one last synonym for "offing" someone in a Mafia scenario. It's absolutely a reach.

@maggiejk Of course it's a bad faith argument. It's simply showing they'll go after political enemies for anything and everything.
