When friends hang out, it means they are relaxing and having fun together. The mall (shopping center) is the perfect place to hang out and chat with your friends.

Catch some rays

Prefer the outdoors? Get outside and catch a few rays (enjoy the sunshine) at the beach. The beach or the park is the ideal place to enjoy the sun with people you know.

Enjoy a cup of joe/a cuppa

Cafes are the perfect place to talk with your friends over a cup of joe. No – you don’t need a friend called Joe! A cup of joe is just a cup of coffee. Sometimes people call a cup of coffee a cup of Java and in the UK, people often call a cup of tea or coffee a cuppa.

Go window-shopping

Window-shopping means looking through shop windows or browsing in stores without buying anything. A great way to have fun without spending money.

Shoot some hoops/go for a kickaround

The next time somebody asks you to go to the park and shoot some hoops, don’t worry, they just want to have a game of basketball with you! In the UK, where soccer is more popular than basketball, you could go for a kickaround (play soccer) with your friends.

Chow down at a fast-food joint/veggie/vegan joint

Chow down simply means to eat. A fast-food joint is a great place to have a pizza or a burger, and relax. We can use the word ‘joint’ to talk about other places to eat, too. If you don’t eat meat, you can go to a veggie (vegetarian) joint and if you don’t eat any animal products, you can go to a vegan joint.

Paint the town red!

It’s the weekend. Time to party! Go out with your friends and paint the town red! Red symbolizes fun and excitement. Painting the town red means to have a fun-filled night out. You might even pull an all-nighter! (it means you stay out and up for the whole night)

Catch a flick/play/show

If your friends ask you to the cinema to catch a flick, they are asking you to see a movie with them. You could also catch a play at the theater or catch a show downtown.

Keep it low-key

Planning a relaxing, quiet night at home with a small group of friends? Tell them you are having a low-key night. This is the opposite of going out and painting the town red.

Grab some munchies and hit the road

Get away on a car-trip with your friends. Don’t forget to grab some popcorn, candy, or other munchies (food, especially snacks). Once you have your snacks, it’s time to get out there and hit the road (start your journey)!

You gotta go and get angry at all of my honesty

I hope I don’t run out of time. Could someone call a referee?

‘Cause I just need one more shot at forgiveness

I know you know that I made those mistakes maybe once or twice

And by once or twice I mean maybe a couple of hundred times

So let me, oh, let me redeem, oh, redeem, oh, myself tonight

‘Cause I just need one more shot, second chances

Yeah

Is it too late now to say sorry?

‘Cause I’m missing more than just your body, oh

I’ll take every single piece of the blame if you want me to

But you know that there is no innocent one in this game for two

I’ll go, I’ll go and then you go, you go out and spill the truth

Can we both say the words and forget this?

Yeah

Is it too late now to say sorry?

‘Cause I’m missing more than just your body, oh

Is it too late now to say sorry?

Yeah, I know-oh-oh, that I let you down

Is it too late to say I’m sorry now?

I’m not just trying to get you back on me (oh, no, no)

‘Cause I’m missing more than just your body (your body), oh

Is it too late now to say sorry?

Yeah, I know-oh-oh, that I let you down

Is it too late to say I’m sorry now?

Justin Bieber has reportedly abandoned his pet monkey, after it was seized by customs officials in Germany last month. Mally the Bieber-monkey is being kept in quarantine by customs on the German border after the teen pop star attempted to get the animal into the country without the correct legal documentation. According to the Evening Standard, a spokesman for the Munich animal clinic where Mally is currently residing, claimed the singer’s management team in New York contacted them this week, asking them to find a "safe and sheltered place, or a zoo" for him. "We have to discuss now the way forward with customs officials and other responsible departments," he added. Bieber has been given a deadline of May 17 by German authorities to either claim the monkey and pay a significant sum of money towards his upkeep, or to put in writing that he doesn’t want him anymore. "So far no papers for the monkey of Justin Bieber have been submitted," Franz Böhmer, of the Bonn Federal Office for Nature Conservation said. "If he submits a written disclaimer, we can accommodate Mally in a welfare family group in a zoo." Bieber was reportedly was given the monkey for his 19th birthday last month from music producer Jamal ‘Mally Mal’ Rashid.
