    Isn't that the code that without a screen phone you're using to hear the phone number after the call you got was missed? Without looking it up I bet it is. Oh ok it's to eject someone forcibly or to "slam the dooarrah" or reject someone out. Oh my Gaawd quit slamming dooohrrrah!!!! Oh mi Ghaaawddah..Oohwwhha mann..

    "Eighty-six or 86 is American English slang used primarily in the hospitality industry and sometimes in the military.

    In the hospitality industry, it is used to indicate that an item is no longer available, traditionally from a food or drinks establishment, or referring to a person or people who are not welcome on the premises. Its etymology is unknown, but the term seems to have been coined in the 1920s or 1930s.

    Military personnel might use "86" informally to refer to scrapping equipment (e.g., "That old radio got 86'd") or ending a plan or mission (e.g., "The op was 86'd due to bad weather")."
