Phrases like "Bums rush" have different meanings in different areas of the nation.
Growing up in Chicago, the "Bums Rush" meant that an unwanted or undesirable person was grabbed by the belt and collar and tossed out of a place.
Similarly, teardrop facial tattoos in Chicago were evidence that the person had killed someone. When I worked in the Texas prison system, Those same tattoos represented "the tears of the Offender's mother as her son was incarcerated." Each teardrop stood for one stretch in the lockup.

One more old guy for "throwing the bum out of the bar" - I feel so pretty & witty & ??
One of the most prevalent and misused words these days is Infidel. I would bet that the vast majority of folks here don't know what it actually means.
By definition a Christian, Jew or Muslim can't be an Infidel.
However, we have let our enemies determine our language usage.
Makes me cringe when I see people wearing those patches and a cross on their neck, if they only knew that they were denying their religion, and maybe stepping on the first two of the ten commandments.

From the link you posted: "Infidel (literally "one without faith") is a term used in certain religions, especially Christianity and Islam, for one who has no religious beliefs, or who doubts or rejects the central tenets of the particular religion."
Seems to me that definition would make a Christian or Jew an infidel to a Muslim, and would make a Muslim an infidel to a Christian or Jew.
I remember the older meaning of throwing out the bum. As in; the bouncer grabs the drunken "bum" and rushes him out the door. I also the full out charge as being used in the Ferguson deal.
It's now one of those things that can be used for both meanings, and should be interpreted in the context of the sentence.
He bum rushed me. Of course means the said person "he" charged at me.
He was bum rushed out of the movie theater. Means "he" was quickly and forcibly removed from the premises.
Maybe I'm stating the obvious.

Yes, can be used both ways, but in the past never did. But how did it get that way? I just find it odd that the same phrase can mean both coming and going. And to the younger crowd that never new the original definition, it must seem confusing if someone used the original way just it was confusing for me to hear the new way when I had never heard it used that way before.
Do some more research, it basically means one who does not believe in god, or has faith in god. Since all three religions believe in god, as the all-powerful and all-knowing creator, sustainer, ordainer and judge of the universe, it is in basic form the same god. Islam believes that the bible (yes, the same on we actually use as Christians) is actually a revelation from God (the same God). FYI, Muhammad actually traces his roots back to Abraham. Many of the main players in the Christian Bible are also significant in the Quran. The religions are more closely related than most think.
I think we're showing our age.
"Rubbers" used to be worn on your feet to keep your shoes dry when raining.
Being "down", used to mean you were sad about something instead of willing to try something.
"Swiping" meant to steal covertly instead of something you do with a credit card.
"Gay" started changing in the 60's. You may have known a girl named but I worked with a guy whose last name was Gay (and had no sense of humor).

There was a girl in my neighborhood who was named "Gay". I wonder how that turned out?
"Hocking" and "Gleeping" meant to steal something in Chicago.
A good guy was "solid" or a "cool head".
If you personally vouch for someone who is new, he is "cool" or OK". You damned sure better be right!
Sodas were always "pop".
MJ was "herb" or "weed"
Cops were "The Man" or "The Long Arm."
(In the Texas prisons, the Officers are "50")
Vendetta..."Today, tomorrow, next week or next decade, I'll get payback!"
A gun was a "heater" or "heat".

I heard that sagging came from the prison system.
I never heard the term and Bonnie just arrived, so I asked her. She was a CO in a female unit but she never heard the term used either.
Incidentally, male Offenders don't turn "Gay for the state" as females do. They will have relationships with males and "pretend" that they're with a woman. That is not considered homosexual by the Offenders. It is a major "case" in disciplinary regs and will earn a "sex offender" tag when released. Good CO's, look the other way if the participants are discrete. There are some hard asses who will go out of their way to write that case.

Yes, I am aware of all of that, but, UIAM, Muslims only use the old testament and not the new.
As to my post, I was using the definition you linked to and was referencing only the bold and underlined part, but am not going to respond further as I don't want this to turn into a religious thread.
I had rubbers that I used for my boots when on my motorcycle back in the 80s, I didn't want to mess up the tops with the shifter.
This the way my pop's explanation (he's 84) is to get tossed out quick fast and in a hurry.
[ Other than the toss, no violence involved
look at you being all urban and thangs .welcome my brother
