I first heard the expression "86" in milwaukee in 1949 from the lips of a

KC Mo native who explained that it related to the number of a Kansas City

Ordnance having to do with illegal drinking (at that time we wer both

under age. Eheu fugaces labuntur anni!)

My mother uses "86'd" this way. She's been a Californian all her 82

years, except for some army time in WWII in the WAAC.
