Ever get that invite you just *can't* make? Or maybe you're just not feeling it for a particular activity? 🤔 This phrase is your polite and direct way of saying, "Thanks, but no thanks, I won't be joining!" It's super handy for social plans or group activities.

What's the situation?

Ever have those days where your friends are planning a wild night out, but all you want to do is curl up with a blanket and binge-watch TV? 😴 That's exactly when you're 'not up for something'! It's a polite way to decline an invitation or activity when you just don't have the energy or desire.

conversation

I'll pass

No, thank you · I'll skip this one · I'm not interested

What's the situation?

You're browsing a clothing store, and a sales assistant cheerfully offers you a limited-edition accessory to go with your chosen shirt. You appreciate the offer, but it's not quite what you're looking for, or perhaps you're trying to stick to your budget. Instead of a blunt 'No,' you can gracefully say 'I'll pass!' Or maybe a friend suggests a new, exotic food that doesn't quite tempt your taste buds. This phrase is your polite exit ticket! It's like saying, 'Thanks for the offer, but I'm good!' 😇
