There's an ancient ritual that God commanded the Israelites to do, and it involves the high priest laying his hands on a goat and transferring all the sins of the people to this goat, then banishing the goat to the wilderness. It seems a rather odd ritual, but within it is a teaching that evil does not belong to us. Evil comes from hell, and sometimes we enjoy it and allow it to stick around, but despite the appearance, we are not evil. We just choose to do evil things. As such, we can banish the evil from our life just as we would kick out uninvited party guests who are causing trouble. Calling them a cab, to get rid of them is much like this ancient ritual of transferring the sins to the goat and banishing it.
