rules for thee and not for me

I’m writing a key for those who don’t get what’s so fancy about four numbers

86 = 8 miles out and 6 feet under, I believe from Las Vegas gang slang. Where to bury the guy that cheats your casino.
46 = USA President no. 46, Joe Biden
47 = USA President no. 47, Donald Trump

Put them together and you have a code that incites violence/murder of the mentioned US President.

Edit: Fuck, the Vegas origin is a myth.

Whoa. I like the energy, but 86 is a kitchen term for an item no longer being available.

86 in this case is generally agreed to mean “no more”

Regardless of whether it was the first to coin the phrase 86, the restaurant business in the 1930s was one of the main incubators for its usage and development. Believed to be slang for the word nix, it was initially used as a way of saying that the kitchen was out of something, as revealed in Walter Winchell’s 1933 newspaper column that featured a “glossary of soda-fountain lingo” used in restaurants during that time. It later evolved into a code that restaurants and bars used when they wanted to cut someone off, because they were either rude, broke, or drunk, as in “86 that chump at the end of the bar.”

Yep, 86 just means to throw it out. It’s old garbage, no one wants that.
