The funnel gets 86’d

What does this mean?

86 is shorthand for “removed from the menu” or similar.

I’ve always heard and used it in the context of removing a person from somewhere.

I.e. kicking someone out of a bar

I’ve also heard it used almost exclusively in terms of “getting rid of someone/something from where it currently is”, most commonly “86 that thought/idea” in place of “forget that” or similar

Turns out it originally is from food menus
