M:People  normally  drink  a  large  beer  that  is  usually  served  warm.
M:Well,you  can  order  whatever  you  want,but  I  need  to  bum  a  couple  of  dollars,if  you  don't  mind.
M:What  I  mean  is,can  I  borrow  a  couple  of  dollars  from  you.
M:Yes.But  don't  use  this  word  for  big  things.For  example,you  would  not  ask  your  friend,
“Can  I  bum  your  car?”
M:Yeah,it's  usually  used  when  asking  for  something  small,like  a  piece  of  gum  or  candy.
M:No,small  things  you  don't  need  to  return,such  as  gum  and  candies.
M:You  are  right  Li  Hua.But  if  you  feel  cold  at  a  friend's  home  and  you  asked  to  bum  a  sweater,
then  you  would  return  it  when  you  were  going  to  leave.
M:Yes,if  you  will  let  me  bum  a  couple  bucks  tonight,I  promise  to  pay  you  back  tomorrow.
M:Okay.Two  beers  please!
M:A  girl  I  used  to  hang  out  with  acted  the  same  way.Whenever  a  group  of  us  went  out,
she  would  always  ask  to  bum  money.It  got  to  be  a  real  turn-off.
M:No,a  turn-off  is  something  that  repels  someone.
M:Yes,that's  right.Let  me  give  you  an  example.Your  ex-boyfriend  always  smoked  cigarettes  around  you,
that  was  a  real  turn-off.
M:A  girl  I  once  dated  always  interrupted  me  whenever  I  was  talking.That  was  a  real  turn-off.
M:See,you've  learned  how  to  use  turn-off.By  the  way,I  also  have  dirty  clothes  lying  around
my  apartment.Does  that  bother  you?
M:Ok,I'll  try  to  clean  it  up.
