It is an American expression.
Americans 'think' that they speak English, but they frequently do unusual things to English grammar.
It means - I am unable to meet you on Thursday.
Other English speakers would say -
I am unavailable on Thursday.
I am not able to meet you on Thursday.

Yes. I can't do tomorrow. I can't do next Friday. I can't do lunch. Etc.
