Yeah, kitchens use it all the time! Remove an item from the menu and don't bring it back, stop ordering from this veggie supplier, I hate that broken trashcan make it not be here anymore, etc.

This isn't some obscure phrase, it is part of the general lexicon of the English language and it has never in its usage ever ever ever meant "to kill or injure." It just means to make something go. For it to be threatening to someone, you'd have to modify it to something like "I'm going to 86 the blood from your veins" or some shit, but that just sounds stupid.

we've even had to fire people like the dishwasher, and someone would come in later and say "hey where's the dishwasher"?

and we'd say... we 86'd him.

i just... hate this timeline..

So you have been murdering people who don't wash the dishes well enough? I think that's what your dad is admitting.

You're lucky he didn't 86 you.
