Hi Leviofan,

Your question is very rude I'm afraid. We do not ask the question with the words: Why the hell .....?
Please, if you want to know the answer, just say: What does **** mean?

The expression walk out on someone means to leave someone/ to walk away from them out of the house and not come back.

Alan

Hi, Leviofan

Just to add to what Alan has already said, you could've asked this question: what the hell is ...., or what on earth is....
Though it is very rude.

'Hell' is rude; 'earth' is not.

Hi!
But could you explain to me why "walk out ON someone" not "walk out from someone"?
Thank you,

Hi Natalika,

This means that you leave someone without telling them you are going to do that. 'He walked out on his wife' suggests that he simply leaves her without telling her that he is leaving her.
