M:People normally drink a large beer that is usually served warm. M:Well,you can order whatever you want,but I need to bum a couple of dollars,if you don't mind. M:What I mean is,can I borrow a couple of dollars from you. M:Yes.But don't use this word for big things.For example,you would not ask your friend, “Can I bum your car?” M:Yeah,it's usually used when asking for something small,like a piece of gum or candy. M:No,small things you don't need to return,such as gum and candies. M:You are right Li Hua.But if you feel cold at a friend's home and you asked to bum a sweater, then you would return it when you were going to leave. M:Yes,if you will let me bum a couple bucks tonight,I promise to pay you back tomorrow. M:Okay.Two beers please! M:A girl I used to hang out with acted the same way.Whenever a group of us went out, she would always ask to bum money.It got to be a real turn-off. M:No,a turn-off is something that repels someone. M:Yes,that's right.Let me give you an example.Your ex-boyfriend always smoked cigarettes around you, that was a real turn-off. M:A girl I once dated always interrupted me whenever I was talking.That was a real turn-off. M:See,you've learned how to use turn-off.By the way,I also have dirty clothes lying around my apartment.Does that bother you? M:Ok,I'll try to clean it up.
