![A page from The Dictionary of American Slang (1960), the relevant part of which is:
"eighty-six. 1. No, nix; nothing; there is none left; we don't have the item ordered. Common lunch-counter use; used by the cook to inform waiters that there is no more of a specific dish.
2. A glass of water. Some lunch-counter use, because there is no sale, nothing rung up on the cash register.
3. A person who is not to be served, as at a lunch counter, because he is thought to be undesirable or unable to pay; a person who is not to be served liquor, as at a bar, because he is or will become drunk and/or disorderly. 1944: '[He] was known as an "eighty-six," which in the patois of [liquor] dispensers means: "Don't serve him."' Fowler, 'Good Night', 191.
All uses because the term rhymes with 'nix.' Used by waiters, bartenders, etcetera, so that customers will not understand. See Appendix, Rhyming Slang."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cwu46ktgslwmtbyg4g7vafts/bafkreigejs6ymqbfewqvwqle33xc76lli5mksbblju5a4wln23qij27soy)
