Another possibility is that it is rhyming slang for en deep six. Cassell's Dictionary of Slang claims that the term comes from the digging of a standard grave, which is 2.5 feet wide by 8 feet long by 6 feet deep. Other, more elaborate theories include Delmonico's Restaurant in New York City, as item #86 on their menu, the famous Delmonico steak, is supposed to have run out often in the 19th century. Another theory is that this term came from the New York speakeasy Chumley’s, which was a hotspot in the 1920s. Chumley’s is hidden inside a West Village building which has two entrances: a well-set-back main entrance on Barrow Street and an obscure back-door exit on 86 Bedford Street. When police were sighted approaching the main entrance, the barkeeps supposedly yelled ‘86 it!’ to signal the patrons to hide the liquor and exit quickly through the back door. The term became standard in the service industry for ejecting someone by the 1940s.en https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/comey-is-under-investigation-for-posting-86-in-reference-to-trump-what-does-it-mean Comey is under investigation for posting ‘86’ in reference to Trump.

Like 86 47 and Foxtrot Delta Tango before it, 25 47 is a slightly coded way of signaling that you are not into President Trump, and would like him removed from office. Whereas 86 refers to the way you get rid of something by "86ing" it, 25 is a specific reference to the 25th Amendment, and 47 refers to Trump as the 47th president. That amendment gives the cabinet of the president the power to remove the president from office if they determine that he is unfit to fulfill his duties.
