During prohibition, there was a speakeasy in New York's Greenwich Village called Chumley's. The main entrance was through a discreet courtyard on Barrow Street. But there was a back door at 86 Bedford Street, around the corner. If the cops raided, the patrons knew to escape via the 86 Bedford door -- to "86 it."
