Eche fuera could also mean in the Pinoy slang, as "dedmahin," or to ignore.
How does eche fuera work? When do we hear Pinoys utter such an utterance?
"In-eche fuera mo na ako sa buhay mo, " a spouse may tell his/her mate. Or "i-eche fuera na lang natin si X o si Y," a friend may tell friends regarding another friend he/she dislikes.
Some families could make use of "eche fuera," when dealing with discordant relatives or erring in laws.
In the social network, facebook, "eche fuera," could be "to block someone or to un-friend a friend. "Yoko na sayo, eche fuera ka na sa buhay ko."
If children become obnoxious, disrespectful, unreasonable, or vexatious, parents can do an "eche fuera," by disinheriting them. That's the sweetest revenge a parent can do to ungrateful kids.
Parents, nowadays, are a big departure from parents born in the 20's or 30's. The Baby boomers and the disco generation are well into their retirement now, and have new found independence, thanks to retirement plans and pensions. Theses generations were the first of the two-income families, and of women also bringing home a piece of the bacon.
No longer do they depend on their children for their day-to-day expenses and emergencies; they go to ballroom classes, zumba, play tennis and golf, frequent the malls, movies, are active in their churches, and do their own travelling.
These parents communicate with their children by facebook, email and text messages. They borrow their grandchildren if they wish to see them, but do not feel obligated to baby sit them on a regular basis.
Pretty soon, there'd be residences for adult or retired couples, and nursing homes for the single or widowed retiree.
Retirees have new lives of their own; sometimes they are the ones who opt out of their children's reach, if being within their circle would mean being financially responsible again for their grown up babies, or being sponge to their many family woes. You'd hear parents yell, enough, eche fuera.
