outlet
Can you tell me what exactly "outlet" is? A guy here insists that it is a shop for old-collection clothes of a certain brand chain that are sold at a discount. I have to admit that in my country the word seems to be association with this but English language dictionaries say it is just "a store selling the goods of a particular manufacturer or wholesaler" (Webster). Can anybody help?
