[Dixielandjazz] 86

[G. William Oakley]

Many years ago when I lived in SF and first encountered the expression 
"being 86'ed" I was told it was a reference to California statutes 
regarding disorderly conduct in a bar, i.e. Section 8 paragraph 6.  May 
be apocryphal but that is what I heard.

In a bar there are several, one being---you can no longer be served, because you are too inebriated or obnoxious and you need to leave. Usually an 86 is only a temporary condition , until the next time, then if a person persists in acting in that manner, a permanent 86 will exclude from being a patron.forever, unless there are some conditions met..
