“Chuck a sickie” 🤒
The action of calling
in sick for work when you’re not actually sick. You do this because you just want a day off so you pretend to be sick. Examples:
I don’t feel like going into work today. I think I’ll just chuck a sickie...🥴
Are you going to chuck a sickie again?
“My shout” 💴
In this case, “shout” does not mean to yell. It means “my treat” or “I’ll pay”. It is to treat someone to something (food, drinks, etc).
If you say this, you’re not expecting the other person to pay you back!
🙅♀️ 叫ぶ
🙆♀️ おごるよ、はらうよ、だすよ
Examples:
You eat at a restaurant with a friend and you are about to pay.
Friend: Don’t worry about it! It’s my shout!
Meaning: Don’t worry about paying! It’s my treat, I’ll pay for it!
“Are you shouting us?”
Are you treating us?
“It’s your turn to shout”
It’s your turn to pay
