I like to flake out on the couch after dinner.
My cats flake out wherever they please. They sleep a lot.
My son flakes out on his bed for an hour or so after work.

This is so interesting. I know that to flake out = to fall asleep but I never
hear it in this context.

No wlasnie pytam sie anglika co znaczy zdanie z tytulowego watku, a on na to,
ze jest bez sensu! Ze flake out ma dokladnie takie znaczenie, jak podala
kylie1. Ja bym powiedziala, ze cos w stylu: klapnac/pasc ze zmeczenia; walnac
sie na lozko/fotel/kanape

Zdanie z tytułowego wątku było made in USA, stąd zdziwienie Twojego angielskiego
koleżki jest poniekąd zrozumiałe.

podaj kontekst - najlepiej caly paragraf

[kurdelebele]

Chodzi o sytuację, kiedy umawiasz się z kimś na spotkanie/randkę. Zdarza się, że
osoba najpierw się zgadza, a potem odwołuje (wymawiając się jakąś
cock-and-bull-story ;)). To pytanie ma niejako uprzedzić taki rozwój wypadków i
być może mu zapobiec.

exactly what I said earlier and we say that such person is a flake - an
unreliable person.

a must read with some valuable tips

paper-mate, where do you see "flake out" as a phrasal verb here?

[kurdelebele]

paper-mate's recommendation wasn't essential to the topic. it was secondary,
just in case if you came across someone flaky. read and learn, and good luck :)

[kylie1]

what do you want me to learn about flaky people kurdebele??? Anything I need to
know in particular?

[kurdelebele]

you need to know how to annihilate them. otherwise they can get on your nerves.

PS any other questions? ;)

[mudzyn7]

To annihilate all the flaky people, yep nice idea, nice concept...I would like to see them all in the gas chambers ........................not! (and who doesn't like Borat?)

Are You not from this world?

[kurdelebele]

So there are at least two of us. Let's start by annihilating this forum,
hopefully the rest will take care of itself.

I am from Poland but hell knows if this country is from this world.
