86 – 47
The term “86 47” refers to a message posted on social media by James Comey, where he arranged shells on a beach to spell “86 47”. The “47” is understood to mean President Trump, the 47th president. The term “86” typically means to discard or get rid of something, but in some contexts, it can imply a more sinister meaning like eliminating or killing.
Here’s a breakdown:
-
“86”:This term originated as dinner slang to indicate an item was unavailable but has evolved to mean “get rid of” or “eliminate”.
-
“47”:Refers to President Trump, as he was the 47th president of the United States.
-
The combined phrase “86 47”:While Comey’s post was framed as a beach walk photo, some interpreted the arrangement as a call to eliminate President Trump.
