Re: Spam (was Re: MI5 Persecution: Communications with Security Service Tribunal) in 1999



from wikipedia - a long list of possibilites including:

# generally used in restaurant or foodservice environments when a
specific item is no longer available. For example, "86 baked haddock",
or "the mussels have been 86'ed", or in a bar when you may have drank
too much and can never come back.

# used as a verb, to "eighty-six" means to "ignore" or "get rid of".
Suggested theories of the source of this usage include:   * Possibly a
reference to article 86 of the New York state liquor code which defines
the circumstances in which a bar patron should be refused service or
"86ed".
