86

If you are 86'd you are kicked out and banned from a bar. There are a lot of supposed origins of this word. The most popular seems to be that Chumley's, a famous and OLD New York speakeasy, is located at 86 Bedford St. During Prohibition, an enterance through an interior adjoing courtyard was used, as it provided privacy and discretion for customers.
