86

According to "Unwrapped" (Food Network) the term 86ed spawned from the restaurant Delmonico's constantly selling out of the 86th item on the menu, the Delmonico Steak.

Numerous other entries have referenced a speakeasy in NYC, only problem is Delmonico's has been in business since 1837. Far before prohibition.

She ordered the Steak but we're 86'd.
