Origin is uncertain, but the theory with the most logic behind it is that "86" began as rhyming slang code of the sort found in London's Cockney underworld of the 19th century. As "trouble and strife" meant "wife" in rhyming slang, "86" may have stood for "nix" -- "nix" meaning "nothing", "get rid of" or "to dismiss."

or

To get rid of something.

The term came into popular use among soldiers and veterans to describe missing soldiers as 86'd. Rather than describe buddies missing in action, it was slang to describe the MIA as violating UCMJ Sub Chapter X Article 86.

Removing or Kicking somebody out.

Orgin: 1940's? bartender slang.

bartenders use to switch 100% proof to 86% proofs after a person got drunk. cuz the loaded person couldn't tell the differnce. and when person falls asleep at the bar they would get booted out. this would help them get more customers and save up for the more stonger and costly proofs everybody wants.

now it is used to mean to get rid of something or a person (not at bars).
