other side
Across from here
Other side refers to what lies opposite or beyond something, whether physical or abstract.
In spatial terms, it means the opposite surface or location: the other side of the street, flip the record to the other side.
Figuratively, it often denotes an opposing viewpoint, faction, or party in a conflict or debate: Let's hear what the other side has to say.
The phrase also serves as a euphemism for death or the afterlife: crossing over to the other side.
