expulsion
The colloquial term for the act of forcing someone to leave a place, such as a bar, a party, or an apartment.
Nachdem er den Gastgeber beleidigt hatte, folgte der sofortige Rauswurf von der Feier.
After he insulted the host, his immediate expulsion from the party followed.
'Rauswurf' (expulsion/dismissal) is a noun derived directly from the separable verb 'rauswerfen' (to throw out). It is made up of 'raus' (short for heraus, 'out') and 'Wurf' (from werfen, 'to throw') and literally means 'the throwing out'.
Der Rauswurf war die Konsequenz seines schlechten Benehmens.
The expulsion was the consequence of his bad behavior.
The word 'Rauswurf' (expulsion/dismissal) clearly belongs to colloquial language. In formal or official contexts, such as a termination letter, you would instead use 'die Kündigung' (termination) or 'die Entlassung' (dismissal).
Er hat seinem Chef von dem drohenden Rauswurf erzählt.
He told his boss about the impending dismissal.
You can tell from the context whether 'Rauswurf' (expulsion/dismissal) refers to being thrown out of a place or being dismissed from a job. Words like 'Bar' (bar), 'Party' (party), or 'Wohnung' (apartment) point to being expelled from a place, while 'Firma' (company), 'Job' (job), or 'Team' (team) point to dismissal.
Der Rauswurf aus der Nationalmannschaft war ein Schock für den Spieler.
The dismissal from the national team was a shock for the player.
In the context of being fired, the phrases 'jemandem droht der Rauswurf' (someone is facing dismissal) or 'der Rauswurf aus dem Job/der Firma' (dismissal from the job/company) are often used.
Nach dem Skandal war der Rauswurf des Ministers unvermeidlich.
After the scandal, the minister's dismissal was unavoidable.
termination / notice
'die Kündigung' and 'der Rauswurf' can both mean that someone loses a job or a contract. 'Kündigung' is more neutral and more official. It can mean the ending of the contract or also the written document. 'Rauswurf' is colloquial and sounds harsher. It can mean dismissal from a job, but also that someone has to leave a place, for example a bar or a party. Learners may confuse the words because both have to do with leaving or being dismissed. In official situations, 'Kündigung' is more natural; in everyday speech and in a harsh situation, 'Rauswurf' is more likely.
Wegen seines lauten Streits im Restaurant drohte ihm der Rauswurf.
Because of his loud argument in the restaurant, he was threatened with being thrown out.
