When you omit where you are escaping from, you just say,
"Make it out," and the other person will have to see what you've meant
from the context.

a mistake, but I heard it in the movie "The Bridge of Spies". It should
have been "The more I hear it, the less I like it, " or "The more I hear
it, the more I dislike it, " if they had adhered to the textbooks, but
the mistake-like expression seems to be tolerated. Well, at least, I had
no trouble understanding what was meant.

A "bouncer" usually means somebody standing at the entrance of a bar who is responsible for checking IDs and making sure nobody would mess around. My martial arts teacher used to work as a bouncer. He was a pretty big guy and you certainly wouldn't want to mess with him.

A ton of thanks!
A few words can save one from agony. I really feel it.
My load is submitting 10 pages or some of a journal paper. Still working on that.
By the way, has anyone, hopefully a native speaker of English, ever heard Cockney Rhyming Slang or its equivalent?
I'm interested in how many people speak that kind of language in these times.

It's often the same between a French original song and its English version. «Comme d'habitude» describes a timid and cowardly man who has been married to a woman who's probably beautiful and apparently too sociable for him to be comfortable with. But its English version «My Way» is all about a rather heroic man near the end of his life who looks happily back on how he has lived fully up to his own expectations.
