pumps out

Forces liquid out

Pumps out means to produce or release in large quantities, often continuously or mechanically.

A factory pumps out widgets, a writer pumps out novels, a speaker pumps out propaganda.

The image is of a pump steadily expelling liquid—applied to any prolific output.

The phrase can imply impressive productivity or mindless overproduction, depending on context.
