going out

Departing for fun

Going out is leaving one's home for social activity, especially in the evening—to restaurants, bars, parties, or entertainment venues: We're going out tonight.

It also describes a romantic relationship in its early or casual stages: They've been going out for a few months.

Something going out is departing or being sent: the going-out mail.

A tide going out is receding from shore.
