go outside

I find this somewhat similar to "go to one's room" where the "extra meaning" is usually either just non-existent or implied. —Svārtava ^{[t•c•u•r]} 04:48, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Delete as SoP. — SGconlaw (talk) 05:06, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Leaning keep. This one definitely doesn't feel as literal as go to one's room with the given sense. AG202 (talk) 06:21, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Keep non-obvious meaning. --Rishabhbhat (talk) 16:22, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Weak delete as SOP per nom. But I can also see the argument that it's comparable to take a hike or take a walk or even go away. Imetsia (talk) 17:11, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

• Move to RfV to provide citations establishing the nonidiomatic component of the definition, i.e., that it is an insult. bd2412 T 17:45, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
• Another sense? As I recall this sometimes meant an (invitation to) fight. "I've had it with you. Do you want to go outside? — This unsigned comment was added by Facts707 (talk • contribs) at 09:40, 18 January 2022‎.
  • There's also take it outside, but "go outside" is used in this sense [1]. 70.172.194.25 21:33, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
• Delete. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 13:33, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
• Keep per AG202 and User:Facts707 (the fight meaning definitely exists and should be included in this entry, rather than the whole entry being deleted). Overlordnat1 (talk) 13:34, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
• Keep. Besides the other potential meanings, I have an ESL friend who thinks eating at a restaurant is going "outside", so it may be more idiomatic that we realize. DAVilla 06:58, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
