Read the Door 

Its like "the door is right there, leave now" and "read the room" together. So just read the room and leave.
Person 1:"I didn't do anything to her other than say her dress looked like a Hefty's garbage bag, everyone did give me a nasty look once she left the room crying though."

Person 2:"Read the Door."

A tagline for a surprisingly longlived advertising campaign by Akademiks. The ads featured a hot chick sitting on a stack of books in a clearly suggestive position. See brain and get brain.

read only 

The mode your brain goes into after drinking too much. Much like file protections on a PC. A sub-state of Read/Write mode, which people normally operate in.
I really did that? I must have gone read only pretty early after those lemon drop shots.
