Hey there! It’s Michael here - and welcome back to another Happy English, Phrasal Verb Friday.  I’m here every Friday with a quick, one-poi nt English lesson to help you learn a new phrasal verb and sound more natural when you speak.Today’s phrasal verb is flake out.  When you flake out, it means you agree to do something - like meet up, help out, or join an event - but then you don’t show up or don’t follow through. Basically, you cancel or disappear at the last minute.<ul><li>Like last weekend. My friend Jake said he’d help me move the pianos,  but he totally flaked out.</li><li>And then the next day, Jenny promised to come to dinner, but she flaked out and texted an hour before saying she was “too tired.”</li><li>And honestly, I’ve flaked out before too, totally not something I’m proud of at all. </li></ul>And here’s a little pronunciation tip: flake out - flay-kout. The K sound at the end of flake connects right into out. Fla......kout.  flay-kout!So how about you? Has a friend ever flaked out on you? Or maybe you’ve flaked out on someone before?
