give someone the air
此短語常用于戀人之間，意思是“不再理睬某人”，與漢語口語中“把某人給甩了”或“把某人給蹬了”相似。
例如：
-Don’t worry. I’ll soon give him the air.
-Jack gave Mary the air and began dating other girls.
-You want to give him the air? You must have another think coming.
-If I were you, I would give him the air and go out with another guy.
戀人分手還能說break up；split up。
比如：
Jenny and Joe have split up.
珍妮和喬鬧翻了。
