turfed out
Thrown out unceremoniously
Turfed out means forcibly ejected or expelled, especially from a place where someone has been living or working.
The phrase is chiefly British: He was turfed out of the pub for starting a fight, The new management turfed out half the staff.
It suggests unceremonious removal—being thrown out rather than politely asked to leave.
