I heard somewhere awhile ago that Doyle Brunson said the real definition of the term refers to an old vegas motto of "8 miles out, 6 feet under". Does anyone else have any other theories on its original meaning?

The Sherlock Holmes show Elementary used the speakeasy secret exit onto 86th street during the Prohibition as the source of the term.

When I was in the bar biz in the late 70's,
I was told 86'ed was a bar term for kicked
out permanently. Cops used it also. It's
origins are fuzzy.
