Of a person (sense 2) the word is colloquial and sounds humorous or dismissive, as if the passenger were unloaded like cargo; the neutral verbs are ostaviti, iskrcati. In the figurative sense (sense 3) svaliti or natovariti posao na nekoga is more usual; for feelings ('to take it out on someone') Serbian uses istresti se na nekoga.
