Terms never really used

[Sunny]

There are many commonly used terms heard in movies and TV series, which I have never heard in real life. One example is "show you out." (Meaning escort someone to the door when they are leaving.)

Or, usually said in a huffy voice, "I'll show myself out."

Who needs to be "shown out?" Has this expression ever really been used?

 

[Pinky]

Pretty common speech in these parts.

 

[Shero]

Show you out is not an unusual term here. Used it many times.

 

[Ronni]

I’ve only ever used it for comedic affect.

I’ve lived on three continents in my lifetime, and I’ve honestly never heard it used for real.

 

[Remy]

Yes, I've heard it. Usually hearing how an administrator got walked out of the building by corporate. Shown the door also.

Pretty common speech in these parts.

It's common round these parts too.

And, when they say,"I'll show you out," and they've got you by the scruff of the neck, it's safe to assume that they want you gone.

I'm a fan of " The Closer", and" Major Crimes". One of the lines heard a lot in the shows are when someone wants another to come with them. Say the Chief wants a detective to follow him, the Chief says, "With me. With me. With me". I've never heard anyone say that. But the lines appears quite frequently in the show.

I still say “I’ll show you!”

I'll show you out is often used here...

Sounds like a phrase coined in the days of manor estates and house servants. In my humble abode if I used it, my visitor would likely reply "why? I can see the door from here".

 

[Oris Borloff]

Is that a quote from the Minotaur?

And..... some people who would like you to leave, but are too polite to say, "I'll show you to the door", they instead stand by the door with your coat in their hands.

Years ago in pubs in Scotland, if somebody got a bit
"out of hand", they were told, "Pick a Window, you
are Leaving", a threat that if they didn't calm down,
they would be thrown out through a window.

I don't know if it still in use, but I doubt that it is.
