The idea of taking a fight outside comes from the practice of SacredHospitality. Centuries before the existence of Hiltons or Motel 6, travelers would bunk down in the homes/tents/stables of those who had spare room. This could also mean two men who had bad blood between them could end up in the same house for the night. It would be considered a violation of guest right if they came to blows inside and damaged the hosts' property with a wrestling match or sword fight. So if the pair did come to blows, you would take it off the property to do so.

When two or more characters are about to fight or in the middle of fighting, a bystander will interrupt and ask them to take the fight outside. Alternatively, as an overlap with LetsFightLikeGentlemen, one of the fighters could suggest settling the score outside. Either way, the usual concern is to [[AvertedTrope avoid]] unnecessary damage to {{Innocent Bystander}}s and the [[KungShui building's interior]].

This can overlap with DoWrongRight if the interrupter starts with seemingly disapproving of fighting at all, [[BaitAndSwitch only to switch]] to shooing the fighters outside.

Compare and contrast GetOut, which declares someone to be [[PersonaNonGrata no longer welcome]] but doesn't have to involve physical fighting. Compare and contrast GettingTheBoot, which involves physical removal of [[PersonaNonGrata unwelcome characters]] regardless of the reason they're unwelcome. When this trope is {{averted|Trope}}, see FightingInAllTheWrongPlacesIndex.

* Played with in ''WebAnimation/ASDFMovie'', which features two rowdy types in a bar with drinks looking like they're about to get into a fight, with one of them, in a very serious tone, suggests 'taking this outside', to which the other replies in just as serious a tone '[[BringIt Sure!]]'. One cut later, with both of them outside, and the BaitAndSwitch is apparent:
--> '''Rowdy guy number 1:''' (still in pre-fight tone of voice) [[SincerityMode Wow! What a lovely evening!]]
--> '''Rowdy guy number 2:''' (Also still in pre-fight voice) [[SincerityMode This was a really great idea!]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse'', it's a bit of a RunningGag for Ben to get into fights with aliens while he's in the store of either Mr. Baumann or Pakmar, where he predictably ends up [[KungShui wrecking the whole store]] in the process. It got to the point where both shopkeepers not only want him to take the fight outside, but [[PersonaNonGrata don't want him setting foot in their stores period]].
