86
To refuse service
Eighty-six is restaurant and bar slang meaning to remove from availability or refuse service.
A menu item that's run out gets eighty-sixed; a troublesome customer gets eighty-sixed from the establishment.
The term has spread beyond food service to mean reject, discard, or get rid of: Let's eighty-six that idea and start fresh.
Often written 86 or 86'd.
