922. What we mean is what we don't say... (93)

We say: I ran out of time.

We mean:  Useful little euphemism, that.  Makes me sound businesslike - as if I had an overloaded schedule.

What is says about us:  Sometimes it's because I'm disorganised, and at other times it's because I simply can't be bothered to fit in whatever it was that was asked of me.
