Question from my niece
okai ever since my niece knew I talked to Americans she's always hassled me about asking you all one question.....and since she's sitting beside me I have to ask
in her words....
"see in films when you lot say 'lets take this outside' do you really take it outside or do you just batter the shit out of them where they stand?"
All answers will be greatly appreciated but if your talking shit we will tell you

I've seen this and heard it before (unfortunately) and from my experience they "take it outside" really.
It's an old gentleman's agreement of not messing up the lady's house that they are fighting over. Sigh.
Anyway, I'm sure all the young bucks or drunks that use this term don't know the history but they STILL take it outside.
Funny thing though...everyone INSIDE ends up following them OUTSIDE to watch.

Freeze this moment a little bit longer...

When evil is allowed to compete with good, evil has an emotional populist appeal that wins out unless good men & women stand as a vanguard against abuse.

Yes, in the US, "Take it outside" is a challenge to a fight. Not used much anymore.
