    What does ‘lock in’ mean in this situation?

    Yours faithfully,

    a confused Brit.

      Cowboy up.

      Get your boot straps out the dirt.

      Cryers don’t get healthcare.

      (Okay I’m running out of Americanisms)

      It’s telling someone to stop being emotional.

        Ok… So maybe this is a dumb question, but is it helpful to hear that when you’re having a hard time?

          i think it could be, depending upon circumstances. likewise, i think it could also be actively harmful (depending upon circumstances).

                Discuss discussions, not straight up speculation

        Ah ok, thanks.

        Where I’m from a lock in is a pub illegally serving drinkers after time by locking the doors.

          Lock ins were all night parties for kids when I was growing up. Parents in 80s USA, wow.

                My parents went to them at skating rinks where they would take their skates off and dance on the rink. They called them sock hops.

              Undoubtedly, apologies if it was understood that I spoke as the sole arbiter of lock ins.
