Re: This has got to be a World Record; serial # SI

Eighty-six or 86 is American English slang used to indicate that an item is no longer available, traditionally from a food or drinks establishment, or referring to a person or people who are not welcome in the premises. Its etymology is unknown but seems to have been coined in the 1920s or 1930s.

The term is now more generally used to mean getting rid of someone or something.

JOST had a lot of that series/style.
My all-time JOST fave. One that walked; pre-reform
A couple not in ChipGuide, either.
