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.

- The more I hear it, the more I don't like it. ··· Yeah, that sounds like
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.

So-called "native speakers" make all sorts of mistakes, but they can get away with them because they don't have an accent. Oh well.

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.

Yup. And there are bouncers, perhaps of a much more dangerous sort, at offices of a mafia, according to the movie I saw, «He Never Died».

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.
