| 词源 | leaving flat. A good friend doesn’t leave one flat, when he or she has no use for you anymore. The expression goes back to the early days of the 20th century, but that is about all we know about it. Perhaps it suggests the flat on a car’s tire, one which the “friend” refuses to help fix, leaving his friend flat. |
