Term given to individuals who fail in some sort of task, whereby the failed person would theoretically have to leave the room (to
go 'upstairs').
Usually used in instances involving
fun festivities underway in the front room, such as
PS3, XBox or other metal box of giggles, where fail
victim must leave the presence of the untainted, for he is not worthy.
A recent phenomena, 'stairs' has often been linked with the older, more-established phrase 'Taxi for ____'
