punchout

End of shift

Punchout is the act of clocking out from work, or the moment of doing so: What time is your punchout?

In aviation, a punchout is an emergency ejection from an aircraft.

In manufacturing and crafts, a punchout is a piece of material removed by punching—or the perforated section designed to be pushed out: Remove the punchouts from the electrical box.

Video game enthusiasts know it from the boxing game *Punch-Out!!*
