  • But wouldn’t the common restaurant lingo be “86 THE cherries?”

    86 is a verb. To 86 something is to exclude it. But 86 alone is a number like any other. Just as 50 alone isn’t pronounced “five-oh” and doesn’t mean the Hawaii State Police. If I said “I’m 50,” you’d assume it’s my age, not my profession.

    If I said, “That’s the shit!” I’d mean the opposite of “That’s shit!”
