Meaning as to "86" someone or something.....

The phrase “86” has a fascinating history that reflects its widespread use in American culture. It is commonly understood as a way to indicate that someone or something is no longer welcome. While the term is often associated with the hospitality industry, its usage has extended far beyond restaurants and bars.

There are many theories about how the term originated. One popular theory suggests that it comes from a specific menu item number used in a New York City restaurant. When that dish was out of stock, staff would say it was “86ed,” meaning it was no longer available. Another theory links it to police codes, where 86 was used to mean that someone should be removed from a location.
