to leave suddenly · to abandon (a plan or person) · to skip (an event)
You know those moments when you just *can't* anymore and need to make a quick exit? Or when you really don't want to go to that one thing you reluctantly agreed to? 'Ditch' is your word! It's perfect for when you're leaving a place or person unexpectedly, or skipping an obligation. 🏃💨
💡 **A quick heads-up!** While 'ditch' is super common, it implies a somewhat informal or even slightly irresponsible act. You wouldn't 'ditch' a formal meeting with your boss, for example! 🤔 It's usually for casual plans, friends, or less serious commitments. It can also mean to get rid of something you no longer want, like 'ditch that old couch!' but we're focusing on the social aspect here!
Which situation is the most appropriate to use 'ditch'? A. 💰 You are closing a multi-million dollar business deal. B. 📝 You are submitting your final thesis for your Ph.D. C. 🍿 You decide to skip a boring movie your friends dragged you to.
