Hello,
I have found something which is in my intention incorrect. I am pasting the idiom and its definition I found in your "English Idioms and Sayings" page. Kindly, have a look at it. Should the definition not be "you fire them-they are no longer employed or wanted".

If you kick someone to the curb, you fire them- they are longer employed or wanted.
(In British English, you kick someone to the kerb.)



 
Yes, it should read "no longer". It's a typo.
 
In AmE, a boyfriend or girlfriend can also kick the other one to the curb.
