86 started at a speakeasy during the prohibition called Chumley’s at 86 Bedford Street in NYC. They'd kick out poorly behaved people, telling them to "86 it" out the door. These days restaurant workers and kitchen staff is 86 to mean that a menu item is unavailable or someone is being cut off or kicked out. It basically means "get rid of it".
