The colloquial term In the Buruha political center The rotation of the former FBI director James Komei is an old one, which is likely to arise as terms in the food services industry before it extends to other contexts, but some of this spread has led to accusations by Republicans that it was a threat to President Donald Trump.
In the Instagram post that has been deleted since then, Comey wrote, “Forming the wonderful crust on my shore walk” to accompany a picture of the shells shown in “86 47” forms.
He said in a follow -up post that he only took it as a political message because Trump is the 47th president, and “86” could be something to get rid of, such as a loud shepherd in a bar or something that is no longer required.
But Trump and other republicans took it fateful. They say Kumi, who had Trump with a controversial relationship, was defending violence against the Republican President, given that the colloquial term was sometimes used as a way to kill someone. Perhaps he started in restaurants nearly a century ago
Jesse Shidlor, assistant professor of the University of Colombia’s writing program and his editor in the English Oxford program, said the colloquial assets of “86” are due to the symbols used for dinner and restaurants as shortening employees in the thirties of the last century or so.
This meant that something on the list was no longer available. Over time, he said, developed relevant uses.
“The original meaning is that we are outside an element. But there is a set of clear metaphorical extensions for this purpose,” he said. “86 is something that does not exist, something should not be like an unwanted agent. Then it is a verb, this means throwing someone. This is a somewhat clear semantic development from the idea of getting out of something.”
He said that there were uses as a kind to kill someone, as in some imagination stories, but this use is not widely. It is more likely that this means giving up something that is no longer useful – a definition preserved in a famous TV program in the 1960s “Get Smart”, which was the leading character – WINK, Nudge – as Agent 86.
This type of meaning is reflected in the introduction of “86” from the “Merriam-WEBSter”, the dictionary used by the Associated Press. This definition says that the meaning is “getting rid of”, “to get rid of” or “refuse the service.” While noting that there were uses for it to mean killing, the dictionary said: “We do not enter this meaning, due to its relative repetition and its failure to use.”
But Trump and his administration insist that this was the intention to use in the initial Komei function on Thursday.
“He knew exactly what it means,” Trump said during an interview with Fox News on Friday. “A child knows what it means. If you are the FBI director and do not know what it means, and this means assassination. He says that loudly and clearly.” It has prompted use to a federal investigation
Trump administration is checking.
“I previously published a picture of some shells that I saw today in a beach march, which I assumed to be a political message. I did not realize that some people link these numbers to violence,” Komei said on social media.
The relationship between the president and the comy has been strained for years. Trump Komei was launched as director of the FBI in 2017, early in Trump’s first state. In 2018, in a book, Kumi said that Trump was immoral and “unrelated to the truth.”
Nicole Holidai, a professor participating in linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley, said a colloquial reference that could cause this type of AGita sudden, especially at a time like the frame in which we live.
“I think it is because we are in a polarized culture, everything is the Rorschach test.” “We are very sensitive to any indication that people are part of our group or part of the external group.”
Language can be a theme is fraught because the language and the meaning of words can be liquid based on context, culture or other factors. She said, “We always convey this issue,” well, I said this word and this means x. But you heard this word and thought it means y. “
This mobility can be difficult enough when it is a direct conversation from a person. She said that taking it online the way it makes a lot of our modern speech makes it more than that.
“In real life, when a conversation with a person takes place, you are negotiating the meaning. (But) when someone publishes … there is no space. That is why people always argue with death in the comments,” said Holidai.
She said, “We do not mean to communicate like this on serious issues.” “Really, we are not.”
