I have never heard of "86" as a code for removing or assassination someone--or for anything else.

Is there a reference for this?

The evil, lying Democrats routinely invent false meanings for words and symbols. "_____ is code for _____."

Is this an invention, or does it truly have the meaning ascribed to it in this article and elsewhere?

I asked Grok:

The term “86” is slang that means to get rid of, cancel, or remove something or someone, often used in the context of restaurants or bars. For example, a dish might be “86’d” if it’s no longer available, or a person might be “86’d” if they’re kicked out of an establishment. The origin is unclear, but one popular theory traces it to 1920s New York speakeasies, particularly Chumley’s at 86 Bedford Street, where patrons were sent out the back door (at 86 Bedford) to avoid police raids. Another theory suggests it comes from restaurant code for an item being out of stock, possibly tied to standard inventory counts like 86 bottles. It’s now widely used beyond hospitality to mean discarding or rejecting something.
