Many of us might be embarrassed to admit we had a fight with someone at the office, but having a “run-in” doesn't sound quite so bad. Isn't it nice how language lets us paint our lives in a more flattering light!
RUN-IN 口論
- A run-in is an argument or fight.
- run-in とは、言い争いや喧嘩のことです。
- Fred had another run-in with his supervisor. You could hear them shouting throughout the whole office!
- (two newspaper reporters)
a: What's wrong?
b: I just had a run-in on the phone with someone from the School Board.
He was upset about how we covered the story on school lunches. - After my third run-in with a motorist, I just gave up cycling to work. Now I take the train.
- Did you hear about Marty's son? He had a run-in with the police. They caught him drinking and driving.
Goodbye for now!
