any pop culture reference in which one can determine that it is from the eighties solely on the fashion, music style, media references, etc.
eighties-tastic?...breakfast club
In darts, a score of one hundred eighty. It is the highest possible score with three darts. Three tripple twenties.
Dude, I cant believe you got a ton eighty with those crappy plastic darts!
People who really hates the eighties... the glam rockers, big hair, shoulder pads, spandex, consumerism, parachute pants, the Smurfs, Dynasty, boy bands... the list goes on and on.
I love Olivia Newton-John singing 'Let's Get Physical'... why are you guys such h-eighties??!!

Traditionally, to be eighty-sixed was to be cut off from further booze service. This term comes all the way from the wild west (and not the 1980's as previously defined), where a bartender would only serve the 86 proof whiskey to customers already too drunk (86 proof was reserved for the ladies. The wild west was tough).
Today it means to be cut-off at the bar, kicked out of the bar, or to be cut-off or barred from something in general.
I went to the bar at happy hour and was eighty-sixed by the bartender by 9:00.

Restaurant lingo meaning "take an item off the menu." By extension it can also mean to get rid of almost anything (including doing away with somebody). The Urbandictionary entry attributing the term to the 1980s is erroneous. I worked as a short order cook in the late 1960s and it was in use in a half dozen NewYork city joints where I worked. Oldtimers say the term was around in the 1940s and that the derivation is Article 86 of the New York Liquor Code which describes the circumstances under which liquor should be withheld from a customer.
Restaurant manager: "we ran out of chipped beef . . . eighty-six the shit on a shingle."
