Gooooooooood morning everyone, Redbeard here again after a complete
write off of last week I'm back and full of coffee.

Phrasal verbs in English can be really really annoying so it's best to
pace yourself slowly when going through them. Since last week was a
"write off" for me let's look at what it means exactly in THIS
situation.



A:Heya B, how was your weekend?
B: Honestly? It was crap, last week was a write off in general
A: It was that bad?
B: Yeah it seriously sucked, I didn't get the promotion I wanted, I
left my phone at home annnddd my girlfriend dumped me.
A: Wow, you weren't kidding about it being a write off. Oh well,
things can only go uphill from here.
B: You're right.

In this situation a "write off" is time/effort that will never be
taken back. A had so many huge problems in their life last week that
they will never be able to recover from them.

"Things can only go uphill from here" is a really useful phrase we can
use in English to nicely say "Things are so bad they can't get worse".

Let's look at one more example of write off for things.

A: Oh god I've totally ruined my car.
B: What??!?? How?
A: I drove it off a bridge last night and it crash landed into an oil tanker.
B: ... And you're alive? I'm sure the car is a write off but at least
you aren't. I hope you have good insurance.

(Thing) is a write off is commonly used for insurance, especially when
something can't be repaired.

I know a lot of people out there might want to just write off this
whole year, but that's why it's important to look at things in small
pieces. Take things day by day or second by second. How were things
for you all last week? I hope this new week goes AWESOME for you all
anyway!!
Talk to you later!
