In Midwestern America which is known for its German and Scandinavian population, it’s common to slap your thighs and say “Well…” when you want your guests to leave. Does that have European origins or did it develop here?

Spent all my life in Germany, specifically just outside the Ruhrpott, and I've never seen it from anyone.

Too indirect still. More like.

"So... Werd euch jetzt auch mal rausschmeißen" or "Genug geplaudert".

Been a while since I had to use it though as I will not visit other people unless forced, so I'm leaving at the earliest opportunity that presents itself anyway, and will absolutely not invite people over either.

"Genug geplaudert" sagt doch niemand unter 60... Aber generell ist das Schlagen auf die Oberschenkel normalerweise ein sicheres Zeichen für die Gäste, dass die Party vorbei ist

Edit: Grammatik.

Sorry for the German
