Dear subscribers!

There have not been much news .

1. suss out: to suss out means to examine something so as to determine accuracy, quality, or condition of it. Examples: The team will be sussing out those free data sources and use case concepts. I guess, like two boxers in the opening rounds, they were sussing out each other's strengths and weaknesses.
2. peter out: to peter out means to gradually stop or disappear. Examples: The track petered out after a mile or so. Damn, I'm petered out and am going to sleep now.
3. cop out: to cop out means to choose not to do something, as out of fear of failing, being shy or because it's too difficult. Examples: She copped out of the parachute jump at the last minute with some feeble excuse. I feared he would cop out and put minimal effort into the proposal.

Best regards,
Andrey Kostenko
