#21: Confusingly Colloquial
To be honest with you guys, I didn’t know that “let’s book” could mean “let’s get out of here.” I had to look it up. In fact, I’m a bit confused because I tend to use the word book as a stand-in for schedule, and I know I’m not the only one. This dual meaning can lead to some pretty weird situations. I was wondering why every time I try to schedule a meeting with my friend Kevin, he immediately gets up and leaves.
