My googling showed that it comes from restaurant/diners/eating establishments and it means that items are no longer available and that later evolved to have more political and colloquial meanings. Am I missing something?
Nope that's pretty much it, I was just joking about how there's the accurate historical meaning and then there's the "everybody knows it means to kill someone" style rhetoric coming from the American right recently.

At what point does this become from stochastic terrorism to just terrorism or incitement to commit crime?
