What does ‘8647’ mean? Possible message behind Comey’s post
Comey’s post was interpreted by some as saying to “86” No. 47 — Trump is the 47th president.
According to Merriam-Webster, “86” is used as a colloquial term meaning “to throw out,” “to get rid of,” or “to refuse service to.”
The origin of the term is debated, with one theory saying it came from when barkeeps threw disorderly guests out of a former New York bar called Chumley’s, which was located at 86 Bedford St.
Another version, cited in the book “The History and Stories of the Best Bars of New York,” was that during Prohibition, police would call the bartenders at Chumley’s to ‘86’ their patrons out the 86 Bedford door so they wouldn’t have to arrest them.
Merriam-Webster says the term came from 1930s soda-counter slang, meaning that an item was sold out and may have originated from the term “nix,” a phrase still used by wait staff in restaurants and bars.

I'm On Fire
Bruce Springsteen
Hey, little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone?
I got a bad desire
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire
Tell me now, baby, is he good to you
And can he do to you the things that I do?
Oh no, I can take you higher
Oh-oh-oh, I'm on fire
Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull
And cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my skull
At night, I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
Oh-oh-oh, I'm on fire
Oh-oh-oh, I'm on fire
Oh-oh-oh, I'm on fire
