[Dixielandjazz] 86ed

[tduncan]

Here is a link to a very plausible origin of "86." Chumley's is still there
in The Village and the back entrance still exists. In my post speakeasy days
as a drinker there, you could go in that back door after 4 AM when all New
York bars were supposed to close.

Cheers!

OK Dave,

Bill and I have been ' discussing this'.  I posited that it was possibly 
rhyming slang . 86ed = fixed ....   as in,  'I fixed him good'.  You told us

what I means.
Now derivation please  ?

( Like I'm into rhyming slang )
