eighty-six

To delete. Orginated in the 1980's when restaurants started using POS(point of sale) software. The number 86 was used to delete incorrect or changed orders. Now, 86 has taken on its own life.

"you need to eighty-six your girlfriend" in other words "get ride of her"

eighty-six

To eighty-six something or someone originates in a small bar in the village. Chumley's, a prohibition era haunt for writers and artists, had two entrances: one of which was on 86 Bedford street. When the bar got raided by cops everyone would rush out of the back door on 86 Bedford.

Shit! The cops! Let's eighty-six it!

eighty-six

1. To remove or eliminate. Originally diner lingo to cancel an order. The term derives from rhyming slang for "nix."

eighty-sixed

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.
