bum's rush
Thrown out unceremoniously
The bum's rush is forcible ejection from a place, as a bouncer might throw out an unruly patron—or a bum.
By extension, it means any abrupt dismissal or hasty removal: The committee gave his proposal the bum's rush.
To give someone the bum's rush is to get rid of them unceremoniously.
