How it's used
This idiom carries a sense of urgency or intense emotion, often implying that the person is trying to escape a situation or is extremely agitated. It is more dramatic than simply walking out, as it suggests a forceful or sudden exit. While it is a four-character idiom, it is still frequently used in spoken Cantonese to describe someone leaving in a hurry.
Examples
After hearing the news, he immediately rushed out the door.
Why are you in such a rush to dash out the door?
