Dear teachers,
Would you be kind enough to tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expressions in bold in the following sentences?
I dreamed last night that I was flogged by Dr. Raine.
flog = whip
but
He tried to flog his old car, but no one would buy it. = He tried to drive his old car, but nobody bought it.
drive = Brit .; colloq . to sell something quickly or cheap , " drive "
drive = foist on = palm off
Thanks for your efforts.
Regards,
V
