Question:
anyone know the origin of the term '86 it'?

Answer:
There are many theories. The most common ones:

1. The term 86 or 86'd has its origins in NYC, where people committed suicide by jumping from the observation deck of The Empire State Building on the 86th floor before a safety fence was installed.

2. The United States military has what is called the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Article 86 of the UCMJ is Absence Without Leave (AWOL)

3. Originated during the Korean war. "Eighty-six" refers to the jet fighter North American F-86 Sabre. Whenever an F-86 shot down a airplane during a dogfight it had been "eighty-sixed"

4. The origin of this term "eighty-sixed" refers to the standard height of a door frame (86 inches). Once you were thrown out the door, you were "86'ed"

I've also heard that it means a 8'long, 6'deep, like a grave.

I think that might cover it.

"ESA astronaut Frank De Winne has been in space since May. He will become the first European commander of the ISS when Russian cosmonaut Gennady Padalka leaves the ISS. Padalka's Soyuz spacecraft is scheduled to undock this Sunday night from the orbital outpost. De Winne is the first non-American and non-Russian to take on this role. - ESA"

So I was with my mate at school today. That chick I like came by and I said hi to her.. Without any replies, until my friend says hi and does generate a reply.

So basically, she ignores me.
