leave someone hanging
leave someone hanging
Yeah, it really isn't polite to leave someone hanging. I know it can be hard to say "you're not for me" but that's much better than saying nothing at all!
nothing
On Saturday I had nothing for breakfast. I slept in!
I would but
Theo: I would but I have nothing to wear.
prescribe
prescribe
Our office does not prescribe what we wear to work. Pants, dresses, and skirts are fine, just nothing too short.
landscape
landscapes
Nothing beats the color and light in impressionist landscapes (and Renoir's dancers too)!
sumptuous
I love sundaes. There's nothing more sumptuous than ice cream, toppings and whipped cream.
water
Nothing beats water after a run on the beach.
crisp
There's nothing quite so satisfying as biting into a crisp apple!
zipper
I check that the zipper on my bag is closed so that nothing falls out!
serious
I had to go to the hospital, but it was nothing serious. Just a sprained ankle.
a lame excuse
Theo: I would help you, but I have nothing to wear. Tanya: That’s a lame excuse and you know it.
modest
Carol is so modest. She helps people a lot but always says, "Oh, it's nothing."
jump out at
jumped out at me
I wanted to buy a souvenir for my friend when I was visiting Florida, but nothing jumped out at me.
excursion
We took a weekend excursion to the coast. There's nothing like breathing the fresh sea air!
observatory
But collecting microwave radiation has one major drawback, as Esteban Illanes of the European Southern Observatory, explains. 'It is absorbed by water. An observatory at sea level would pick up nothing.
channel surf
channel surfing
I've been channel surfing for 15 minutes now but there's nothing to watch!
Geronimo!
I'm so high up! Here goes nothing... Geronimo!
novel
There's nothing better than having a good novel to read outside on a beautiful day!
slip one's mind
slips my mind
I use Post-It notes at the office to make sure that nothing important slips my mind.
ski jumping
There's nothing like flying through the air when you're ski jumping.
get into
There's nothing like fresh-baked Christmas cookies to help me get into the holiday spirit!
satisfied
Nothing leaves me more satisfied than to have a slice of cake with a glass of milk!
come of
Nothing good can come of this.
on the drawing board
on drawing boards
Ship designers set sail, turning back to wind to help propel boats across the sea. The new vessels, mainly still on drawing boards, look nothing like the graceful schooners and galleons of the past.

relative
I bet you thought nothing "phased" (fazed) me! Our Moon's shape doesn't really change — it only appears that way! The phase/amount we see as we look from Earth is caused by the relative positions of our Sun, Earth, and Moon.
