Drumming out : ウィキペディア英語版 | Drumming out Drumming out is the historical act of being dishonorably dismissed from military service to the sound of a drum. In modern figurative usage, in which the term is sometimes altered to "drub() out," it may refer to any act of expulsion or dismissal in disgrace.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Drum )〕 ==Origin== One of the earliest recorded references to drumming out occurs in Alexander Pope's Moral Essays, 3rd epistle, 1731–1733: "Chartres was a man infamous for all manner of vices. When he was an ensign in the army, he was drummed out of the regiment for a cheat; he was next banished Brussels, and drummed out of Ghent, on the same account." It also occurs in a figurative sense in Thomas Amory's ''The life of John Buncle'', in 1766: "They ought to be drummed out of society."〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=phrases.org.uk )〕
