Thanks PROESL

What about 'hear me out'?

I thought so, but you asked, so ...

The phrase hear me out means "listen to everything I have to say" or "be patient enough to hear everything I have to say because it has value and it'll help you understand".

Have you got any more? I'll start another one but if you have more words/phrases with 'out' feel free to add them in.

'DO'

do wonders for
do time
do something up
do someone a good turn/favour
do the donkey work
do a lot of harm
do good or no harm
do no good
do somnething with your eyes closed

No, problem. We'll move on to "do". If there anymore for "out", we can still post them.

Okay, here's another one "the ins and outs" - the details and the information, more or less, generally speaking.
