drag on and drag out

[lang]

about the entry 'drag on' in your phrasal verbs:
don't it has a meaning of: to manage to continue, to keep holding-on to the an end?
and is there a difference between drag on and drag out?
thank you very much

[Casiopea]

drag on means, to go or pass slowly. For example,

The meeting dragged on.

drag out means, to get, pull or take out something that might not be easy to lift or do. For example,

Let's drag out the winter tires. They're big, bulky, and heavy.
I don't want to drag out our family photos. It's too much of a bother.
Drag out your friend tonight.(s/he might not want to go out, so you might have to push/pull her/him by using force or persuasion).

I'd also drag something out if I wanted it to last longer than it should:

There were still twenty minutes to go, so I dragged the point out.

A quick question: Can "don't it has" stand for "doesn't it have" ? thanks

If you're rapping, maybe. If you're taking an English test, no.
