The Number of the Day Is....

Ya know , Im not here to just make fun of people and post glamor shit. I strongly believe in " you learn something new everyday" and you do whether you believe it or not. So thats why Im here. I like to teach you kids the origins of things and give brief history lessons. Cuz I am the queen of random shit facts. Today's slang term of the day is



The history of the term 86ed refers to the Empire State Building in New York. The observation deck (which for a period of time was a popular suicide jump point)is on the 86th floor. In reference to the deaths, the term 86ed came to be used.

A suicide from the observation deck was referred to as having 86ed himself.


Also used as a term meaning:

To be kicked out or banned or even throwing something away.


Used in a sentance:
"I got 86ed from the Orleans Casino after stealing a shit load of stuff"
or
"If you are 86'd from a bar, do not return for at least three months. To come back sooner makes it appear no other bar wants you."

Now I bet you didn't know that!
now you do

xoxoxo
