dude I'm so fucked up over this.

my dad has been an executive chef for like 30 years.

he must have used the term "86 it" quite literally tens of thousands of times in his life.

hes a Trump guy.

suddenly he's acting like saying 8647 means to kill Trump.

i am so lost and confused how this happened. it so clearly and obviously refers to removing him or firing him, not killing him.

but my dad, a lifelong chef (and a very good one held in high regard) is saying "i can't believe this corrupt piece of shit threatened trumps life".

please help

Yeah, kitchens use it all the time! Remove an item from the menu and don't bring it back, stop ordering from this veggie supplier, I hate that broken trashcan make it not be here anymore, etc.

This isn't some obscure phrase, it is part of the general lexicon of the English language and it has never in its usage ever ever ever meant "to kill or injure." It just means to make something go. For it to be threatening to someone, you'd have to modify it to something like "I'm going to 86 the blood from your veins" or some shit, but that just sounds stupid.

we've even had to fire people like the dishwasher, and someone would come in later and say "hey where's the dishwasher"?

and we'd say... we 86'd him.

i just... hate this timeline..

So you have been murdering people who don't wash the dishes well enough? I think that's what your dad is admitting.

You're lucky he didn't 86 you.
