golden boot
Early exit sweetener
The golden boot is an award in soccer given to the top scorer in a tournament or league: Ronaldo won the golden boot at the World Cup.
The phrase echoes golden glove (for goalkeepers) and other "golden" sports honors.
In British slang, to give someone the golden boot is to fire them—a more colorful version of getting the boot.
