Conservatives demand immediate arrest of former FBI director James Comey after he 'called for assassination' of Trump
Mike Honcho replied to jbycho's topic in The Geek Club
Where did the term 86d come from? AI Overview The term "86'd" originates from several potential sources, with the most common being a restaurant industry slang term meaning "out of stock" or "removed from the menu." Other theories include a New York speakeasy, military slang, and even bartender practices related to alcohol proof. Here's a more detailed look at the possible origins: Restaurant Industry Slang: .Opens in new tab The term is widely used in restaurants to indicate that an item is unavailable, either because it's sold out or has been removed from the menu. New York Speakeasy: .Opens in new tab One theory suggests the term originated at Chumley's, a speakeasy at 86 Bedford Street in New York City. During Prohibition, the bar staff might have used "86" to signal patrons to exit through the back door during police raids. Military Shorthand: .Opens in new tab Some believe it came from military slang, possibly related to the Korean War and the F-86 fighter jet, or from a military article on AWOL (Absence Without Leave). Bartender Practices: .Opens in new tab In the past, whiskey was often available in 100 proof and 86 proof options. Bartenders might have "86'd" a patron who was showing signs of inebriation by switching their drinks to the less potent 86 proof liquor. Soup Kitchens: .Opens in new tab Another theory suggests the term came from soup kitchens during the Great Depression. If a soup pot only held 85 cups, the 86th person would be out of luck. Rotary Phones: .Opens in new tab The letters "T" and "O" on a rotary phone would correspond to the numbers 8 and 6, respectively. In some military contexts, "T.O." meant "throw out" or "terminate." Rhyming Slang: .Opens in new tab "86" rhymes with "nix," which means to refuse or cancel something. While there are several plausible origins, the most widely accepted explanation is the restaurant industry slang, where "86'd" means "out of stock" or "removed from the menu." -

The long, drawn out week that is the NFL schedule release
Mike Honcho replied to cmh6476's topic in The Geek Club
Was reading a review of the schedule and came across this one. Worst Thursday night matchup: Jets at Patriots, Week 11 I think the schedule makers were giving fans a bye week. -
Really don't watch much sports that don't involve Wisconsin in some way or has wheels, but enjoy the season.
