scoot over
Shift your seat
Scoot over means to move sideways a short distance, typically to make room for someone else: Scoot over so I can sit down.
The phrase implies a quick, casual shift rather than standing up and repositioning.
It's informal and often directed at someone already seated on a bench, couch, or bed.
