(UK, informal, often used with "on") To intrude; butt or muscle in ; to be nosy.
Dated slang meaning to kick someone out, expel them, or reject them decisively — to give someone the horn and show them the door. It implies a forceful and final removal rather than a gentle suggestion to leave. The term feels like it belongs to a particular era of American or British informal speech, more at home in a mid-century novel than a modern conversation, but it has a satisfying bluntness that keeps it useful when you want to describe being forcibly removed from somewhere.
