eighty-six →get rid of ???

除了86的意思，今天偶然得知还有“get rid of”,感觉很好玩。
我想问一下了解的朋友，这个意思有什么来历吗？

 yes, to 86 someone means to "cut them off".   I think it started as a slang word in bars- "He has had to much to drink, he is eighty-sixed."  It is now used to describe stop service to anyone in almost any scenario.  Mainly used in the service industry.
Hope that helps
