"Elvis has left the building" means the main event or performance is over. Just like when Elvis Presley, the hugely popular singer, would leave the stage, it would signify the end of the concert or show. This phrase is now used more broadly to indicate that something significant has ended, be it a meeting, a performance, or even an era. 😊 It's often used to gently nudge people to move on, especially if they're lingering in hope of more. It suggests that the highlight is over, there's no additional value to be gained so might as well proceed to the next thing. It's a gentle, jocular way to convey that idea, leaning on the fun, popular image of Elvis himself. 🎙️ Just like he left the stage, it's time for us to leave or move on.
