out on one’s ear

letět („ještě jednou to uděláš a poletíš!“)

No, don’t you go writing things down, or you’re out on your ear.

Colonel Fagg, he goes mad if anyone wakes him up. Comes out of his room like a rocket and you’re out on your ear. I’ll be careful, Mr. Ramsbum.

And if you’re a professor, well you have to like studying and you have to like reading and you have to like teaching and all these other things. If you don’t, you’ll soon be out on your ear.
