1930s (as a noun, used in restaurants and bars to indicate that a menu item is unavailable or that a customer is not to be served): perhaps rhyming slang for nix1. I still hear '86' used in restaurants. I've even seen it written over unavailable items listed on the specials board. It's great shorthand for use in a busy place.

Many thankQs oratam!
People are also getting 86’ed at school board meetings if they unload on the board members.
They’re being told that if they come back, they’re going to be charged with trespass and arrested.
