Hi Jati,

I think you mean 'thrashed out' :)

Hello Bez,

Does it mean something improper? Now I trusted in Hungarian-English Academic Dictionary and I didn't look up the Oxford Dictionary.
I thought trash out means we were botomming out this question.

Have I mistaken?

Kati

Hi Kati,

That's 'thrash out' not 'trash out'
trash = rubbish
trashing = wrecking.

Hello Bez,

Many thanks.

thrash (sth) out =to discuss a situation or a problem thoroughly in order to decide sth (OED)
I omitted a letter and what a great difference!

If I am lucky I learned two words all at once, didn't I?

Of course I am very grateful to you:
kati
