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?"

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."
