EXPRESSIONS WITH BOOT(S): TO GET THE BOOT

Welcome back, everyone! I hope you're having a nice week. 

As you know, this week's theme is Expressions with BOOTS.

Today's expression is: TO GET THE BOOT

Definition: To be fired.

Example 1: I got the boot from my office. They said they don't need so many workers during the wintertime. 

Example 2: If you keep arriving late, you are going to get the boot. 

Conversely, we can use the expression TO GIVE (SOMEONE) THE BOOT when we fire someone. 

Example 3: I had to give an employee the boot today because he was late... AGAIN! I feel bad, but I can't have employees who are not on time. 

That's all for today. Thank you for reading!
