The Difference

Good morning, class.

Today we're going to learn a new phrase. Well, actually, two new phrases but they do sound alike so maybe some of you will group them as being one. Whatever.

New phrase of the day : Bail out

Explanation: To bail out on someone means to stand them up or leave them hanging. Hanging, not panting, mind you.

Example: The groom bailed out at the last minute and left Jenny standing alone at the latar.

= The above sentence means that the shitty groom thought "What the %#$@ am I doing? I don't wanna wake up to the same face everyday! Better make a run for it.". So, the shitty groom runs away from his own marriage. Basically, he stood her (the bride) up. He left her hanging all alone in her $5,000 Vera Wang and $2,500 Bvlgari jewels at St. Peter's Church.

Now, kids, we should not confuse the new phrase of the day with an almost similar phrase/verb; 'to bail out'.

Example: "Bail me out, mom. I got caught smoking pot at school."

= The above sentence means that the dumb@#$ kid is telling his mom to bail him out of prison/lock up for his crimes. Basically, 'bail (insert dumb@#$'s name) out' means to get said dumb@#$ out of trouble or a glitch. It's got nothing to do with standing someone up.

You see the difference?

Also, please notice the way the subject+verb+object relate to one another.

You see the difference?

Last sentence for today - "Before you even think of bailing out on me, please remember who bailed you out of juvi three months ago!".

That's all for today.
Have a nice day!

    Smoking pot in school? Reminds me of Chuck Bass for doing so.
