'Break loose from somebody' có từ loose là lỏng lẻo, không nghiêm, phóng đãng và break là phá vỡ (lề thói, giao kèo v.v...); vì thế cụm từ này nghĩa là thoát khỏi sự kiềm chế của ai, sổ lồng (escape from, shake off, run away from confinement).

Ví dụ
Is Harrison Ford set to break loose again as The Fugitive?

Sometimes bouncy house (= nhà nhún, nghĩa lóng: phụ nữ to béo, làm cho nam giới thích thú...

“Will we be able to explain why Lehman is different from Bear Stearns?” I asked Hank. “Without JPMorgan as a buyer for Bear, it would have failed. We just couldn’t find a buyer for Lehman,” he said. I felt we had done the best we could. But time had run out for Lehman. The 158-year-old investment house filed for bankruptcy just after mid-night on Monday, September 15. All hell broke loose in the morning.
