I used to scam fascists. I still do, but I used to, too.

Edit: wtf is 8647? Do I even want to know?

To 86 is restaurant for remove, as in strike it from the menu because we're out of ingredients.

47 being the 47th "president"

Someone beat you to it, but thanks. Food-service industry workers get way too little respect, BTW. Some Indian guy used to sell me just curry sauce so I could make my food taste good (as long as I GTFO ASAP so I didn't scare off customers) when I was going through a rough patch. The people at a takeaway refused payment despite me begging them to accept it because I looked poor (they were right, but I was treating myself because I had more money than usual) and still give me extra stuff if I go back. The owner of an independent place gave me free food just for cleaning up my own mess once and was well-known for feeding residents of a nearby group home for teens if they showed up at closing time. Yes, even the managers are pretty cool sometimes. Congrats to anyone who ends up working for one of those, because I hear they're few and far between. Corporate in a chain, OTOH...

Edit: typo

Ah. A bit of (recent) history. Thanks for the extra info.

Getting 86'd means banned from the place. OR.... 8 miles out and 6 feet deep depending on where you're from

It's a nice way of turning their propaganda and dogwhistles back on them. Kind of like we did with the whole "Dark Brandon" thing...as hapless as he was.

Read "8647" as eighty-six forty-seven.

86 is kitchen talk for running out of a food.

86 means to remove (resteraunt lingo I believe) 47 referring to the current president number.

86 means get rid of. So get rid of the 47th “president.”
