Olde-timey phrase, most commonly referring to the act of literally carrying someone perched uncomfortably on a rail to a point outside of the city limits. This was often a form of punishment for committing any act others thought was extremely bad. It is still sometimes used in the Southern states.

Get the Rail mug.When a client at a strip club cheaps out and doesn't sit at the rail, but back far enough that he can see everything without having to tip, thus spawning the term: off the rail
Stripper to another: I wish they would ban that perv, all he does is pay the door charge, nurse one drink for like 2 hours and sit off the rail so he doesn't have to tip. What a loser.
