Easy English expression. Today's podcast is brought to you by DDM.
Today's expression is count me in. And count me out.
Count me in. Count me out. Count me in.
Count me out. What does this expression mean, to count somebody in, to count somebody out?
Well, it is a phrasal verb and it means to include somebody or Or exclude somebody.
So if you say, count me in, that means you want to be included.
You want to join something. You want to do something with other people.
So for example, I'm going to the movies tonight.
Count me in. Count me in too. Count me in means me too.
I want to go with you. Count me in too. That person also.
So that's the idea. What about this situation?
I'm going to the restaurant and I'm going to order...
Cow's tongue. Oh, it's so delicious. Ew, count me out. no thank you don't include me no i will not join you That's the idea.
