The phrase "gives bum rush" is an idiomatic expression used to convey a sense of forceful or sudden expulsion or removal, often involving a group of people. It is typically used in a figurative and informal context, primarily in North American English.
When someone "gives bum rush," they forcefully expel or remove someone or a group of people from a particular place, situation, or event. This can involve physically pushing or escorting individuals out of a location or forcibly removing them from an area against their will. It often implies that the action is swift, assertive, and done with little or no warning.
The term "bum rush" carries connotations of urgency, abruptness, and sometimes even aggression. It is reminiscent of forcefully removing an unwanted individual or group while emphasizing their insignificance or disrepute.
The phrase is commonly employed to describe situations where authorities, bouncers, or security personnel forcibly eject someone from a club, concert, party, or any other public gathering. It can also be used metaphorically to describe being expelled or excluded from a social group, organization, or project.
Although the term "bum" originated as a derogatory slang term referring to a homeless person, in the context of "gives bum rush," it has evolved to describe anyone who is being forcibly removed or excluded without necessarily implying their homeless status.
