tradesman's entrance
Delivery workers' doorway
A tradesman's entrance is a secondary door at the back or side of a house, historically used by delivery people and servants rather than guests.
The term appears in British English more than American.
It doubles as slang for the anus, playing on the idea of a rear entry point: He prefers the tradesman's entrance.
