The saying "home James" is believed to have originated from the early 20th century practice of wealthy individuals being driven by chauffeurs named James. The phrase was likely used to instruct the chauffeur to take the person back home. Over time, it became a colloquial expression used to request a ride or transportation back to one's residence.
