I’m sorry, Linda. I've just been really
busy and by the time I get home I’m completely bushed.
* bushed: exhausted; very tired
ex> After a 14-hour flight, Tracey
was too bushed to even eat dinner.
That’s not a good excuse. I’m your
girlfriend, or did it slip your mind?
* slip one’s mind: to forget something
ex> It slipped my mind to call
my mom on her birthday yesterday!
C’mon honey. You knew when I left for
law school that with classes, studying, and interning, I
would barely even have time to sleep.
I guess it’s harder for me since I’m
used to having you at my beck-and-call
whenever I wanted you. Now I can hardly get you to return a text.
* beck-and-call: available at any hour,
day or night
ex> The maid was at the rich lady’s beck-and-call
24 hours a day.
Are you breaking up with me? Am I being
that clingy?
* clingy: in need of constant attention
from one particular person
note> cling (verb) = to hold tightly
to
ex> Children without siblings can
become clingy with their parents.
ex> She clung to her boyfriend’s
arm.
If you don’t think I’ll be cramping your style, I would love to!
* cramp someone’s style: to get in the
way of someone’s normal lifestyle
ex> Having a little brother following
one around can cramp one’s style.
