"Bottle out" hoặc "bottle it" nghĩa là sợ hãi, mất đi sự can đảm, quyết tâm hoặc bỏ cuộc. "Bottle" nghĩa bóng là sự can đảm. Thường nghe ở Anh.
Ví dụ
The boxing match was set for tomorrow, but one of the boxers has bottled out and is refusing (từ chối) to fight.
“She was feeling unloved,” he wheedled (dỗ ngọt). “She needed affection (tình cảm). I've been trying and trying to get hold of you and you're never in or he is—and then when you answered I kept bottling out and...”
You didn't see her. You know that really; you know she's dead. This is just your imagination (tưởng tượng) running away with you, like it does. Forget it. But I didn't say that to him, that night. I thought I would at first, but I hesitated (do dự) and then I finally bottled out.
"We're going to be stealing from Don Skinner."
My sister sighed (thở dài). "I didn't ask you to come along. If you're bottling out, I can do it on my own."
"I'm not bottling out, I'm just saying."
