not even bothered
Hi teachers,
From movie captions:
1. He didn't come home last night. He's never stayed out all night and not even bothered to call.
Does the sentence read 'He's never even bothered to call'?
2. I was her editor for eight years, so kissing 15 years, give or take.
Does 'kissing' mean 'going on', 'close to'?
Thanks
