    86 47

    When the fun stops, STOP.

    Must admit this made I larf

    "86" means "get rid of" - it derives from 1930s café slang for "throw out" or "refuse to serve", mostly likely as rhyming slang for "nix".

    Various snowflakes have adopted it since it is a lot nicer than saying "Kill", apparently. (Same logic as others are using the hideous "unalive", both as adjective and verb. )

    But obviously if you are a paranoid megalomaniac, you will prefer that it says "kill" rather than "depose" since then you make a real fuss about it.

        No, I don't know what it means either but daresay I'll get arrested for hate speech when somebody makes something up.

              Numbers in the sand = arrestable offence
              Photoshop of times new roman letters MS13 onto the knuckles of someone = definitely not a photoshop, but evidence that he should be deported.
              45,47 = evil
              …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                  No, you have removed the context of what I was saying. Sorry if that's a little difficult to understand

                  Of course, the correct response would have been "42". Which 45-47 clearly isn't.

                    I knew somebody would figure it out. In ascending order of preference.
