EXPRESSIONS WITH SPRING (TO SPRING SOMEONE)

Happy Thursday, everyone! I hope you're having a nice week and enjoying our Expressions with Spring.

Today's Spring expression is: TO SPRING (SOMEONE).

Definition: To get someone out of jail. 

NOTE: This is a colloquial expression that we don't use a lot, but you might hear it in films. 

Example 1: My brother came down and sprung me; otherwise, I’d still be in jail.

Example 2: He asked the lawyer to spring him before his sentence was finished, based on his good behaviour.

Hopefully you never have to use this expression to talk about yourself. ;-)

Have a great day and thank you for reading!
