Bolt Out for Dummies

verb

What does Bolt Out really mean?

Alright, so "bolt out" means to suddenly run away or leave a place very quickly. It's like when you're scared and you take off running as fast as you can, almost like a bolt of lightning - hence the word "bolt"! It can also mean to leave a situation or a conversation abruptly, without any warning. It's kind of like when you have to go to the bathroom really badly and you just bolt out of the room without saying anything to anyone.

So, for example, if your mom sees a spider and she bolts out of the room screaming, or if your friend gets a text message that upsets them and they just bolt out of the conversation, those are both examples of "bolting out". It's all about moving quickly away from something, whether it's a physical place or a situation. Does that make sense to you?
