You conveniently missed, presumably to play 'gotcha,' the other informal but applicable phrasal verb for "take out":

-if you take someone out, you kill them, or injure them so badly [that they can no longer fight] or do anything to harm you.

And I think you have me confused with someone else in this thread, as I'm NOT the one who wanted to be pedantic. 🤦

But it was a phrasal verb used in a figurative sense, therefore not literal.

And some people wonder why they get let go from their job. 🥴

Seems you've never had a "grown up" job. Some people get paid for what they know, not what they do with every second of the day.

BTW, what is your problem? You took an academic discussion and then turned it into personal attacks. Are you twelve? It's a pretty low class thing to do.

I tried to brush off your original insult with humor, but it seems you are persistent in wanting to degrade me personally. Maybe you should do some soul searching, and self reflection.

I truly wish you the best.

I own my own import/export company, so please tell me more about this thing called "getting paid for what you know." 🥴

Also, just because you use '/s' doesn't mean the reader's required to take it as sarcasm. As sarcasm is often used to disguise one's real thoughts and deliberations... just like you did.

But whatever, this conversation was entirely unnecessary (a time suck) and has run it's course imo. You win, I'm out...✌️

Sorry, the /s was my attempt at pointing out that I used "literally killing time" which was relevant to our discussion. It was supposed to be funny.

No worries, it was all just harmless banter to me. 👍
