Hi Everyone!
It's requested to tell me the meanings of the followings bold words; the sentences followed by parenthesis and therein question mark indicate the expected meanings for which I am not sure of.
1. *But I didn't want him to know I'd been angling for a ride
2. *We're giving this place a touch of class.
3. You'll never make any money that way
4. .*Mom and Dad won't let me be out late on a school night (stay till late night for a school night?).
5. *When I stood up, it gave out on me.
6. *Kyle : We won't, not if I can help it.’
7. *Does that give you some claim on her ? (have you no longer have a right on her?)
8. It wasn't enough for you to come budging in on my date with Brad and refuse to leave (move in?)
9. . *.... but considering how he'd probably react, I took the coward's way out (to kill oneself?)
Thanking you in anticipation
deepest regards,
