Bring us your expression

What they say where you're from and isn't in the Slangtionary yet

You are adding to Close call. What is already there stays, we only add yours.

Your voice

Say it out loud, 3 to 60 seconds. Reading it is not the same as hearing it.

Explain in a street-style audio what it means and give an example of how it is used. That is all we need.

How does it sound?
Where is it said? Where the expression is used, which need not be only your own patch.

Real-life examples
  • The lorry clipped the kerb and missed my bike by inches, mate. Proper close call. I’m walking it the rest of the way.
  • Proper close call on the motorway last Tuesday, the van in front braked from sixty to zero, I stopped maybe two metres short of the bumper, and my hands were still shaking when I pulled into the services for a calming cup of tea.
  • Close call at the conference, I almost emailed the salary spreadsheet to the entire client list instead of the internal team, spotted my mistake one second before clicking send and went outside for a walk around the block immediately afterwards.
  • Mate, that was a close call. I stepped off the curb and that cyclist flew past so near I felt the wind off his jacket.
  • Absolute close call at work, I nearly dropped my whole coffee on the manager's laptop and caught the cup with one sad little fingertip.
The way it is really said, not the way a dictionary would say it.
