How it's used

Originating from the world of street hawkers, this term literally refers to dismantling a stall. It carries a strong sense of finality and is often used when a group decides to stop an activity, close a business, or end a gathering for the day. It has a slightly informal, energetic vibe that implies a collective decision to quit.
