Show the Door
What it means
Make it clear that someone is leaving, whether or not they wanted to.
Where it comes from
The politeness is the trick. Showing a guest to the door is a courtesy, and the phrase keeps the gesture while quietly removing any suggestion that the leaving is optional.
The puzzle it came from
Show the Door was the answer to the Phrasicle of September 6, 2025. The clue read ____ the ____, and the words came out of a grid where every neighbouring pair makes a two-word phrase.
