PE 4/20 Texting at the Wheel

It’s okay, Jinny. I’m fine. I’m just at the side of the road waiting for the tow truck to show up.
* show up: to appear; to arrive
ex> We had just been talking about Faith, and she suddenly showed up.

Thank goodness. From now on, leave your phone in your pocket when you’re driving, okay? Is the car badly damaged?
* from now on: starting from the present time and continuing indefinitely
ex> This new fruit smoothie is so tasty that I've decided to order it from now on.

It could be a write-off. I’m glad to say the truck and its driver got off lightly: he was fine, and the truck only suffered a bend bumper.
* write-off: something damaged or incapacitated beyond repair
ex> The fire caused so much damaged that the entire building was a write-off.
* get off lightly: to receive less punishment or damage than expected
ex> Because Jeremy had been such a responsible student, he got off lightly for breaking the window.
Note> If you “take something lightly,” you don’t consider something seriously.

Thanks love, but I’m really okay – just a little shamefaced.
* shamefaced: embarrassed; ashamed
ex> Cody looked shamefaced when his mother found the broken flower pot.
