give somebody the boot

[Curiosity2022]

Is it right to say：’‘ I will give him the boot from the company." or " I will get him the boot from the company." ?

'I'll give him the boot" is very casual, but possible. "From the company" is not necessary. Context will make this clear.

Is it right to say no colon here "I will give him the boot from the company no full stop here" or "I will get him the boot from the company no full stop here"?

Note my corrections above. There was no need for a colon. Don't put a space after opening quotation marks. Don't use a full stop at the end of a quoted sentence if the surrounding sentence continues after the closing quotation marks.

"I will give him the boot" could be said only by someone with the ability to fire someone.
"I will get him the boot" could be said by someone who is going to arrange for someone else to be fired.

In what context do you want to say these sentences?

Thank you very much for your correction，I didn't notice it before and know that both "give sb the boot" and "get sb the boot" have a quite different meaning.

Thank you very much for your corrections. I didn't know that before, but I now know that "give somebidy the boot" and "get somebody the boot" have quite different meanings.

Well, they're not radically different, but they are different.
