New slang term?? (Car wise)
I been watching some Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares the past day or so and had to do a doubletake to what he had said:
"Would you mind.. if I.. 86'ed them?" 3mins 30 seconds in.. [ame]http://youtu.be/XQDtoHpAWhg[/ame] From urbandictionary: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=86%27d "To get rid of, originally for killing someone. The phrase "80 miles out and 6 feet under" was reserved for someone who had to dig their own grave 80 miles from civilization and then get shot execution-style. All terms for 86'd originated from this, be it alcohol or eliminating." It's supposed that Jimmy Hoffa was 86'd under the endzone of Giants Stadium.'' Restraunt industry jargon for an item that has been removed, temporarily from the menu and is no longer available to be sold or served. Usually for the reason that the supply of said item has run out. The deal with the preschool fell through, so the filet of child sandwhich is 86'd.'' From Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/86_(term) " "86","86ed", "86'd", or eighty-sixed when used as a verb in American English, is a slang term for getting rid of something, ejecting someone, or refusing service. According to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary, "86" is a slang term that is used in the American popular culture as a transitive verb to mean throw out or get rid of, particularly in the food service industry as a term to describe an item no longer available on the menu, or to refuse service to a customer.[2] Today, the term "86", and especially its past tense, "86ed" is widely used in American culture and beyond." 20min 16seconds in [ame]http://youtu.be/Ts7JNm-Oeno[/ame] I'm going to use it with my car friends.. when I beat them in a race in their corolla's

Used it 20+ years ago in the restaurant(s) I worked in. We used it to refer to specials or menu items which were not available, as in definition #2. We actually had an '86' list on a chalkboard. Then there was the usage at the end of the evening for said line cooks, when thrown out of the bar across the street,

I always found the coincidence of HachiRoku and 86 to be funny because of this phrase,
but it means you can say things like 'did you see Taka 86 that guy with his 86' |

Yep, that term has been around longer than I have. It was commonly used when a guy got 86'd from a drinking establishment because of his over indulgence and/or his behavior.

I've used that term for years, in fact at work (CAD design) I put stuff I don't need, but don't want to delete yet, on layer 86.

Its an old police term. 86 was the code for murder. That's why restaurants use the term "86 it" to mean get rid of it.
