  Speaker 1: Well, when it's time to leave. Some people don't know.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: They don't take the hint.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: I like a French exit if I'm somewhere, you know,
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: where there's a big group of people.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Explain a French exit to us.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Especially a work event of some sort. A French exit
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: is when you just leave and you don't tell anyone
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: you're going. Because, you know, it adds so much to
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: it if you're running. But that's a big party you
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: can do a French exit from. What if it's a
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: dinner party at your house and you're tired, you've been
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: cooking all afternoon, you think it's time for them to go?
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Because in a big, you know, like you say, like
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: a work party or something like that, you can do
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the French exit or you can just go, hey, I'm
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: just off to the toilet for a ticket. And you
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: just never come back.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: That's a French exit. Some call it an Irish exit.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Never come back.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: It's just an exit. So Victoria Beckham shared on her
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Instagram page this week what David said.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Because they'd get a lot of guests.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: They'd have a lot of guests. They'd have a lot
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: of dinner parties. And what David does when he feels
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: it's time for people to leave is he just wanders
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: about the room blowing out the candles, hoping that that
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: suggests to people, time to go.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Well, I think if anybody's paying attention, that would definitely
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: be a not-so-subtle, subtle hint. Other people have come up
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: with some other ways of letting people subtly know that
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: it's time to go. someone said their mum would just
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: come out in her dressing gown. Yeah, I think that's
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: pretty blunt. I've heard of other people who literally just
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: go to bed. I've heard of that too. Yes, they
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: just go to bed. Another one says, my friend's dad
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: used to come out of the bathroom brushing his teeth.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that says time to go. Because that says they're
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: not having any more to drink or eat or, you know,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I'm brushing my teeth now. Someone called Danny Salim takes
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: a practical approach. He thinks that this is a wonderful idea.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: The best thing is to tell people when the dinner
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: party will be finishing before they arrive. You know, it's
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: going to start at seven and end at blah, blah, blah. God,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: that sounds like fun, doesn't it? Mr. Spontaneity is having
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: a dinner party.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: No one ever takes it. You don't do that. Yeah,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: but no one takes notice of a, you know, The
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: party will run till 11. Yeah, who would.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Invite friends to dinner and tell them what time in
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: advance that the dinner party is going to end?
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: That's okay for a formal.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Function of some sort. Well, don't have people over for
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: dinner then. I think that's absolutely awful.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: What if I didn't have any say in the subject?
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: That is absolutely awful.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: The other one is to just say, all right, who's
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: helping clean up?
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: That'll clear the room.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll clear the room. Different cultures end the party
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: in different ways. Apparently, historically in Japan, it was customary
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: to offer guests a bowl of ochozuki, which is rice
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: soaked in green tea. Now, people are supposed to be
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: in the know and know that rather than accepting the bowl,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: you pick up on the hint and you politely decline,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: replying with something along the lines of, oh, Thank you
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: so much, but I should be heading off now. So
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: the Ochizuki is the key secret code for off you go.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Whereas if we were foreigners there, we would just go,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, I'll have a bowl. I'll have some. The German,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: in Germany, the Slightly more blunt. Now, there is a
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: phrase which I'm not even going to attempt here. My
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: German is not so great. But let's just say... Go on.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Give it a go. Ich fühle mich gest... Yeah, exactly.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I should have pre-read it. You should have. It roughly
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: translates to, I am feeling visited enough.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I am feeling visited enough.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I think that's what Fran said in 1942, but they
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: didn't take the hint. Anyway, yeah, blunt. I like that.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I like that.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I'm feeling visited enough.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I've got to remember that.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Yes. Of course, for me, I just put on Bad Bunny.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: That'll clear the room.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: That'll keep me there.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Nice and loud. Yes, nice and loud.
