How it's used

Beyond sports, this term is frequently used in business or social contexts to describe someone being eliminated from a competition or losing their chance at an opportunity. It carries a sense of finality, implying that the person or team no longer has any path forward in the current process. It is common to hear it used metaphorically for people who have been sidelined or excluded from a group or project.

Common mistake

Avoid using this to mean simply leaving a place or going out, as it specifically refers to the end of a competitive process or participation. It is not a synonym for 出去.
