Blast From The Past - 86

I just read this headline in Wired News:

Drunk? Your Car Will '86' You

I used to work at restaurants, where 86 meant "cancel". As in, "Hey, man, 86 the potato cheese soup! Someone spit in it again!" The tickertape printouts churned out at the line would also use '86' to mean "hold". So "CSAL 86 PARM" told you to not put Parmesan in the next Caesar salad you made.

I hadn't heard that word in about fifteen years...
