'Raushauen' is a separable verb. The prefix 'raus-' (short for 'heraus-', out) goes at the end in main clauses. In subordinate clauses and in the infinitive with 'zu', the verb stays together.

All meanings of 'raushauen' are strongly colloquial. Use this verb in informal conversations with friends, but avoid it in formal or written contexts such as emails to supervisors or official texts.

Let's really splash out again this weekend!
The verb consists of 'raus-' (out) and 'hauen' (to hit/strike). Many meanings are figurative: you forcefully 'strike' words, products, or money out of yourself. This basic idea of something fast and energetic connects the different uses.
Sie hat ihre Kritik ohne Zögern rausgehauen.
She blurted out her criticism without hesitation.
You can often recognize which meaning 'raushauen' has from the object. Is it about words ('eine Meinung raushauen', to blurt out an opinion), products ('Restposten raushauen', to flog off remaining stock), a creative work ('einen Song raushauen', to put out a song), or a blow ('jemandem eine raushauen', to smack someone one)?

They really splashed out on everything for the party.
When 'raushauen' means 'schlagen' (to hit), the fixed structure 'jemandem eine raushauen' is used. The person being hit is in the dative, and 'eine' (short for 'eine Ohrfeige' or 'einen Schlag', a slap or a blow) stands as the accusative object.
Wenn du mich noch einmal provozierst, hau ich dir eine raus!
If you provoke me one more time, I'll smack you one!
to publish
'veröffentlichen' and 'raushauen' can both mean that creative content is made public, for example a song, a video, or an article. 'veröffentlichen' is neutral and fits almost any situation, including formal texts. 'raushauen' is colloquial and sounds quick, direct, and sometimes a bit casual or imprecise. It is more likely to be used among friends or in informal conversations. For official texts, press, or work, 'veröffentlichen' is clearer and more appropriate. 'Raushauen' puts more emphasis on speed or spontaneity.
