feel disappointed · feel sad or upset about something
Ever had plans fall through at the last minute or gotten some news that just deflated your spirits? 😥 'To be bummed out' is exactly how you describe that feeling of being disappointed, sad, or just plain upset! It's like a soft punch to your happy balloon. 🎈💥
💡 **Pro-Tip!** This expression is super common in informal conversations among friends, family, or colleagues. It's often followed by 'about' and what caused the feeling, e.g., 'I'm bummed out about the concert being canceled.' It's stronger than 'a little sad' but not as intense as 'depressed'.
When would you most likely say, 'I'm bummed out'? A. 🥳 When you just won the lottery. B. 😢 When your favorite coffee shop closes down unexpectedly. C. 😄 When you're having the best day ever.
