american english - Expression for becoming homeless, which has the word 'street' in it? How about "pushed to the streets"?



If I lost all my money and became homeless, what standard expression can I use which has the word 'street'? Would it sound perfectly okay to a native English speaker if I said "I was pushed to the streets"? What would a native English speaker say?


Answer



It sounds like the phrase you're looking for is "kicked out on the street", which typically implies homelessness or unemployment.
