Wikipedia says it exists in hospitality sectors, meaning simply to eject something or someone, but it specifically refers to putting someone 6 feet under, which is explicitly murder.

Wikipedia says some slang dictionaries make the claim it refers to a grave but that is not the primary use or agreed upon origin:

Eighty-six or 86 is American English slang used primarily in the hospitality industry and sometimes in the military.

In the hospitality industry, it is used to indicate that an item is no longer available, traditionally from a food or drinks establishment, or referring to a person or people who are not welcome on the premises. Its etymology is unknown, but the term seems to have been coined in the 1920s or 1930s.

Military personnel might use “86” informally to refer to scrapping equipment (e.g., “That old radio got 86’d”) or ending a plan or mission (e.g., “The op was 86’d due to bad weather”). It’s not an official term in military doctrine or manuals, but it’s part of the informal jargon that soldiers, sailors, or airmen might pick up and use, influenced by broader civilian language.

Wait…if that’s the picture on the right, what happened to the guy on the left?

There were eleven and a half cases?

Lopez cited problems — but no wrongdoing — with the auction process. He said he did not want another auction and left it up to the trustee who oversaw the auction to determine the next steps.

I would be surprised if the auction was restarted. The “problems” cited seem to be that the judge just wanted the families to get more money and to minimize the chance of a lawsuit from the losers messing with them. Even though this is the bid that would get the families more money, I think everyone was surprised at how low the bids were. And the more complicated nature of the bid makes it more likely that a lawsuit could hold things up. If The Onion’s side can add a couple million more so that it’s the highest bid outright as well as getting the families a little more, I think the judge would approve it.

He’s farting for his life.

The Onion presenting absurd stories seriously while Infowars does legit news in the style of a conspiracy nut sounds amazing.

Among registered voters who think Trump is a fascist, 8% support him anyway.

Probably a few Republicans in there.
