Absorb

It would be a strange thing to say. Is this something you've read or heard? Do you have the whole sentence?

Sorry, I don't have the whole sentence. I just wondered if it's possible for that phrase to mean that way in some specific context, maybe in a poem or in a novel, when someone absorbs everything he/she has.

It would be understood that way in the right context, but it is not a very usual thing to say and it looks a bit odd at first glance. I suppose in a helpful context it might seem better than

OK. Thanks, MrW.

An expression a bit odd at first glance. That's what some writers or novelists tend to want to use, doesn't it?

Can be. It sometimes happens here that someone posts a certain phrase or expression, and everyone says it sounds odd. Then it transpires that it's a quote from some respected author, and when you read the whole passage in context it seems OK after all.

Maybe I'm one of those who've often posted such phrases.

Anyway, thank you, MrW!
