Hey it's Twitter, don't forget 14 and 88

[–] RogueTyre@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I am out of loop, what does 14 and 88 mean?

[–] voluble@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

14 is code for 'the fourteen words', a racist white separatist slogan that I won't reproduce here. 88 is a symbol for nazism - h is the 8th letter of the alphabet, hence, 88=hh, or heil hitler. If you see someone with an 88 tattoo, this is what they are signaling.

Super secret Nazi numbers for the super secret Nazi club. 14 = 14 words of some tedious slogan that they're fond of, and 88 = HH = Howdly-doodly Hitlerinos
