How does 86 mean that???
Its bar/restaurant speak. Not sure on the etymology of it though.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/86_(term)
because Google and society etc? you couldn't look it up instead of typing out that question? weird.
"The term "86" is American slang primarily used in the hospitality industry to indicate that an item is no longer available or that a customer should be ejected. Its origins are unclear, but it is believed to have originated in the 1930s, possibly from soda jerk slang meaning "sold out" or "to get rid of." "
don't worry, we all see that you're replying to someone who didn't ask that question in good faith.
