" Out of juice "  

If you are thinking about a delicious glass

of your favorite juice which you could not

find in the fridge or anywhere in your kitchen,

well ...the meaning of this slang expression is

not that one !

 In fact ,it is related to dead batteries or low

power your mobile phones or laptops have so

that they can not work properly.

Examples:

My laptop is out of juice.This is so frustrating.

That climber is packing 5 spare phone batteries

so he doesn´t run out of juice on his climbing trip.

He couldn´t warn his parents about his car

crash because his mobile phone was out of juice!

Sometimes if the person feels low on energy,they

coud also say :

"I´m out of juice! "

Also if your car is low on petrol,you could say:

The car is running out of juice.I need to

stop as soon as possible !

My mom always tells me to charge my phone

so it´s got plenty of juice and she may call

me anytime !

There is a very good conversation you can

listen to this slang expression: "OUT OF JUICE " at

the BBC Learning English-The Language we speak

(click here), ok ? Don´t miss it .

Ah ! Don´t forget to charge your

mobile phone to avoid

being out of juice !

Take care.
