A humorous expression used to ask someone not to invade one's personal space or pry into what they are currently viewing or reading, especially in public settings. Originating from an encounter where an individual defensively closed his newspaper on a train when others commented on its contents, the phrase playfully asserts one's desire for privacy without direct confrontation.
