A bar/restaurant slang used to describe the end of something or as an action to get rid of something. Can also be used in reference to "offing" or killing someone...which is where (slightly) its origin comes from...
It's origin comes from when they would dig grave sites 8 feet long and 6 feet deep. When a person died, they would be "86-ed".
"86 the mahi mahi"
"86 that drunken moron"
"That's it, pal, you don't shut up and you'll be 86-ed"

86 refers to a bar in new york, probably in manhattan though some say the bronx, that had a fire department inspection sign prohibiting more than 85 persons from occupying the bar at the same time, based on square footage. whenever a customer acted up, the bartender, would declare, "that's it, you're 86, get out or be thrown out". a few bars whose occupancy number was 85 have claimed to be the original
but proof is lacking for any particular place.

To kill, end, or otherwise cease service of.
Origin: In the soup kitchens and breadlines of the Great Depression, the standard cauldron would hold 85 cups of soup. Thus, the eighty-sixth person in line was SOL.

Used in military context: to kill someone. A grave is 8'x6'x3'.... hence 8x6 or eighty six.
Our only way out of this one is to 86 the guard and bounce with all his shit.
