Hey everyone!

I have another English phrase for you today!



The phrase is “jump ship” - “Jump ship” means to leave any post or position process or project - quit or resign.

For example:
John: Sarah did you hear mike jumped ship last week?
Sarah: no I didn’t! Why did he quit? I though he like his job!

The phrase is “jump ship” and this can be used in present tense / past tense or ending with (ing)

Please note: this isn’t heavily used just something you may hear.

If you found this helpful or interesting please throw a like or comment below.

Thanks guys!

    Thank you for sharing the slang! I hope I can here “jump ship” somewhere in the future.
