booting out

Kicking someone out

Booting out means forcibly removing or expelling someone from a place, position, or group.

The phrase suggests decisive ejection rather than gentle departure: They booted him out of the club for fighting, The board finally booted out the CEO.

Less formal than "expelling" but carries the same finality.
