the 'opposite' of red carpet? Explanation: Dignitaries are received on a red carpet. The green could mean a welcome, green is for ‘go’, red is for ‘stop’. Green could also mean new, young or a beginning. Horticulture might use that to describe a lawn. I’ve never heard it as anything but a play on a red carpet or an actual green carpet my mother bought in 1975. |
