Bring us your expression

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

You are adding to Going spare. 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.

Real-life examples
  • Got a spare festival ticket going spare if you fancy it. I’m going spare though, been looking for my keys for an hour and they were in my pocket.
  • I am going spare in the queue at the post office on Tuesday afternoon, four counters open in theory and only one serving in practice, with the pensioner ahead of me opening a Royal Mail special delivery envelope to check the contents in real time.
  • There is a spare ticket going spare for the Saturday matinée of the West End musical, my cousin pulled out at the last minute because of a clash with the wedding of her boss, so the front row stalls is going to a friend with very short notice.
  • We've got one wristband going spare if your mate's still coming.
  • I was going spare trying to get through to the bank, just forty minutes of hold music and spiritual decay.
