in the lesson full moon,


Devan:  So I guess a belief in werewolves is out for you then, right?


Jeff:  Yeah, not so much. Although that’d be pretty cool.


what does ‘be out for somebody’ mean?

In this context, “be out” means “not an option.” Deven is saying that Jeff is not going to believe in werewolves. He thinks it would be cool, but he’s not going to believe.


For example, I could say, “A trip to Europe this summer is out for me. I don’t have any money saved.”


Best,


Amy
