86ing is a term used in restaurant jargon that refers to the practice of removing an item from the menu. The term is thought to have originated in the early 1900s, when bartenders would use a chalkboard to keep track of which drinks were no longer available. 86ing came to mean “the end” or “finished” and eventually became synonymous with removing something from the menu. Today, 86ing is still a common practice in restaurants, especially when an item is no longer popular or is out of stock.
