kicks out

Removes by force

Kicks out means to force someone to leave a place, group, or position, usually because of misbehavior or some violation.

He got kicked out of school for fighting.

The phrase suggests an abrupt or unceremonious removal rather than a polite departure.

It applies to everything from ejecting rowdy bar patrons to expelling students to removing someone from a band or organization.

In computing contexts, kicks out can describe a system unexpectedly logging out a user or terminating a session.
