Dear teachers,
Would you be kind enough to tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentence?
Besides, this place gives me the pip. It’s half dead – and I’m not going to die with it, thank you.
to get the pip: become depressed, despondent, or unwell
to give a person the pip: to annoy or irritate; to make angry, bad-tempered, or dispirited.
give somebody the pip = arouse unfriendliness into somebody
Thanks for your efforts.
Regard,
V
