kicking out

Removing someone forcibly

Kicking out is forcing someone to leave a place or group.

You can be kicked out of a bar for fighting, kicked out of school for cheating, or kicked out of the house by angry parents: They kicked him out after he stole from them.

The phrase implies the departure is unwilling and often deserved.
