de trop
One guest extra
De trop (French) means unwanted, superfluous, or in the way—especially describing a person whose presence is unwelcome in a social situation: I felt de trop at their intimate dinner party.
The phrase suggests being one too many, an awkward extra who disrupts the dynamic others prefer.
