      Does “tabling” mean putting a subject on the table or taking it off?

      Depends on if you follow the British meaning or the US American one.

      “That’s a big ask” drives me crazy. I’ve been hearing it everywhere lately. When did ‘ask’ become a noun?

        The question is more ‘where’. Be sure to tease whomever about the car lot they obviously worked at.

          Think of it as you’re holding a bag of groceries. You are going to put things away from the bag, but maybe some things need to go somewhere else so you pull it out of the bag and put it on the table to put it away later.

          You’ve tabled it.
