I always heard it was from a speakeasy in the west village called Chumleys. Its address was 86 Barrow Street. They would serve liquor in tea cups and each drink had a different “tea” code name. If the cops came for a raid they would shout “86 your tea cups” and everyone would throw their cups into the fireplace.
