(Give Someone) The Bum’s Rush
Definition: ejection from a place of business, being thrown out
Example: My friend and I got in a fight at the bar. The bouncer gave us the bum’s rush, and that finally calmed us down.
=====================
Do you know the origin of "bum's rush"? I tried to find the origin, but failed.
Is it because "bum" refers to a guy hanging around? So is it a metaphor for a situation when you are kicked out, you become like a bum?
