turf out

Kick someone out

To turf out is to force someone to leave, typically from a place or position they've occupied: The landlord turfed them out for not paying rent, The board turfed out the CEO after the scandal.

Chiefly British.

The image suggests being thrown onto the grass outside.

Also turf someone out of somewhere.
