MODERATORS
"86" means to get rid of something.
"47" refers to the 47th president, which is trump
But to be clear it's not "kill someone."
"86 the ham" can mean "toss it in the garbage, it's rotten."
Or it can mean "Don't take any orders for ham because we're all out."
Or if you just want toast but it's past breakfast you could order "a ham sandwich on wheat toast, 86 the ham."
When I used to work at restaurants, I only ever heard it in the context of being out of something; I've never heard it used to refer to excluding something from a dish. I wonder if that's regional or generational or something. Interesting.
