where did the saying "it's been eighty-sixed" come from?

Question

meaning gotten rid of.... i can't remember, i knew once but forgot

Answer 1

"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."
(see source for where I got this paragraph from)

Answer 2

if that occurred then i may be like: if im in a solid temper. im me, your you, nw that we've been provided that over i've got been given someplace extra substantial to be than right here with you. then i might walk away except they gave me a reason to hit them for somethin. if im in a foul temper: none of your f*ckin corporation and that i dont provide a f*ck who the h*ll you is neither. then i might walk away except they gave me a reason to hit them for somethin. i comprehend that now you're in all probability thinking that i'm a violent form of man or woman. in spite of the fact that.via ways, desire my answer helped. lol

Answer 3

I've also heard a variant of this as "deep-sixed."
I imagine it means something or someone has been buried.

Answer 4

I can't remember, but as a guess, I'll say that 87th was already taken. :)
