Whelp!

I saw a video yesterday that in Japan, your hosts will offer to serve green tea on rice. Apparently this is a hint for the guests to leave.
- In Poland you just tell them there's no more vodka.
  
  Which of course is never true in Poland 😁
- In Denmark, the host will sometimes serve soup or another light dish to signal that it's time for them to leave. It's actually informally known as "go away-food"
  I wish I had the confidence and rudimentary cooking abilities to serve guests go away-food 😆
  
  People who can't cook: "I guess a have a new roommate now"
  
  Leading to a training montage. Years later, your roommate tries your three thousandth attempt at fuck-off soup, smiles at you, stands up and says "whelp..."
  
  In the Netherlands we have "fuck off coffee", to be served after dinner.
  
  Fuckoffee?
  
  Nah, that's different. Fuckoffee is coffee you drink to build up or maintain energy for prolonged sessions of fucking.
  
  you sure it's not called "annoying cancer-cunt-twat tuberculosis coffee"?
  
  I think the literal translation of the name is "rot away coffee" so it might have something to do with tuberculosis or leprosy? The rest is reserved for special occasions, unless you're from Rotterdam of course.
  
  Lots of annoying cunts in Rotterdam?
  
  Nah, that's what you serve if a far right politician visits.
  
  It isn't that difficult.
  Go away food doesn't need to taste good. In fact, it helps them go away much faster.
  
  Are you expected to eat fuck off soup, or should you fuck off right away?
  
  It's up to you, really. You can fuck off right away, eat the soup and then fuck off or you can have fucked off before the soup was served 🤷
  
  All roads lead to fuck off.
  
  I need that on a doormat 😆
  
  What?! This simply is not true.
  
  It very much is. Maybe it's not a custom in your part of the country but here in Østjylland and in Himmerland, it definitely is.
  
  So ist the logic behind this to say "looks we were planning on having dinner about now" implying that the guest is intruding but in order to show hospitality, you'd have to invite them to the meal, so you server some plain-ass soup that won't cost you squat if the guest should accept your offer but is bland enough so that the guest will likely pass anyway?
  
  I think it's more like "we'll give you a bit of food for the journey. Nothing too heavy so you'll want to sit down for a long time, but decent food nonetheless. Now kindly scram"
- Are you supposed to refuse the rice, or leave after eating the rice?
  
  Refuse and it's the cue to leave
- I'm Brazilian and over here we can both, place a broom behind the front door or start doing the dishes
  
  How does the act of placing a broom behind the front door signify the guest should leave? The broom is blocking the exit. 🤔
  
  The door is open and the broom is visible between the wall and the door
- Carrie Fisher would have her copy of the Star Wars Holiday Special if she wanted everyone to leave.
