Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

Definitely should have written "no cherries," but it is a common restaurant industry term in the US.

Interestingly enough, you can also 86 a person. This means they're not allowed to come back to the bar/restaurant/etc...

You can also 68 something if it becomes available again, like a reverse 86. For instance: the kitchen runs out of Brussels sprouts and 86's them, but someone completes an emergency produce run to the local market and preps enough for the rest of the night, so now they're 68.

Sounds like a murder/assassination euphemism.

I've heard of the term to "deep six" someone.

Some of 'em might be deserving of such a euphemism.
