Bail vs Bail out
Hello,
According to Merriam Webster's dictionary both of them should sound okay when used in the sense of "to leave a difficult situation/a situation you no longer want to be involved in". Is that true, though? A few examples:
- Come on, it's time for us to bail/bail out.
- She bailed/bailed out when times got tough.
- I don't think I want to marry her. I can always bail/bail out without having to pay for a divorce.
Top answer
- I don't think I want to marry her. I can always bail/bail out without having to pay for a divorce. Strangely, 'bail' is the casual form of 'bail out'.
- - I don't think I want to marry her.
