to pour in/out

Definition

The verb 'pour' in the context of a crowd describes a large number of people moving quickly and continuously into or out of a place, much like a liquid flowing. This usage emphasizes the steady, unstoppable, and often overwhelming nature of the movement. It is commonly used in news reports, narratives, and descriptions of events to depict scenes where people exit venues like stadiums or theaters, or enter public spaces such as shops or streets in great numbers. The prepositions 'out of', 'into', 'from', and 'onto' are typically used with this meaning.
