Dear teachers:
I know that "bail out someone" means to give money to a court when someone is allowed to stay out of prison while they wait for their trial.
But how about "bail out on someone"? Do they have the same meaning?
Thanks for your help.
Best wishes,
Jessica |

| If you bail out (or simply, bail) on someone you:- leave them behind, don't show up for an appointment, or let them down. |
