The phrase is Tossing one's cap through the door and if it's not thrown back it's safe to enter. This has variants of course, but I can only trace it back to Irish derivation. But where in Ireland? It sure doesn't seem gaelic to me. I can find recent or popular use from Michigan-Wisconsin in comedic routines but it seems to have a richer history.
