52 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1c'est mort Explanation: Plusieurs options mais pour m'en tenir à une qui pourrait fonctionner selon le contexte et correspond à l'idée de "hard", je choisis celle-ci. Par exemple, si je suis tranquille chez moi, fatigué et qu'il est tard et qu'on me propose d'aller quelque part (et pire si c'est loin), c'est ce que je répondrais : "C'est mort, sans moi"/"hard pass" |

| Reference: Source URL of this 'question' Reference information: Rob This noun phrase is slang. Formally, we would just say 'no thank you' but with friends we can reject their ideas by giving it a 'hard pass'. The verb we use with it is 'give'. Give something a hard pass. https://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/thai/features/the-engl... |
