I've heard of double-gaited?

Never heard by me on British TV. Buy I generally do not watch shows with people called Stacey in them!

A dysphemism, shut the front door, was used often by Stacy London of TLC's What Not to Wear during the U.S. show's run from 2003–13. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shut_up

A statement of disbelief. http://onlineslangdictionary.com/meaning... https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/shut_the_...

it is a relatively modern euphemism (I seem to remember it becoming popular back in the 90s sometime). The front door is a substitute for something else, as pointed out by poohbearpenguin (some sort of bizarre manbearpig perhaps?).

It's a polite way to express disbelief, such as "They chose you for the team? Shut the front door!"

It's the "nice" way of saying "Shut the F*** up!" without swearing. It's the same way people use phrases like "what the H E double hockey sticks is going on here?" instead of saying what the h*ll is going on here.

it means the front door is open and that it should be closed
