Ex: it's 8:05am & you ask someone if they have time to discuss a topic but they say "I can't, I'm late for work."

If one has to be at work for 8:30 AM, they usually have to leave by 8 AM to get to work on time. If you are talking to them at 8:05 AM, then they will be late if they spend time talking to you.

What they mean is "I can't, I'm (running) late for work."

Hi OP,

Welcome to TD. It's great. You'll love it here. All the sexually repressed energy, and a lot of anti-Semitism, but under the rug, you know. You'll like it, you'll like the way we handle your business.

Well, hey, why don't you just hang around and meet some guys? I totally respect your lifestyle choice. And good luck with it.

Your parents probably don't get it, but I do.
