After doing some search I figured out that "make a bow" is to appear publicly for the FIRST TIME, as a performer, politician. Is that correct?

[rickebuschcatherine]

To bow out, = 'tirer sa réverence" in French with réverence = a bow ! Thanks for that one !

When u explain the noun "burnout", it makes me think of this idiom: "burn the candle at both ends"

Burnout?? My foot... The media bubble created over her has popped and she doesn't want to lose face. After all much more lucrative stuff awaits in forms of "Talks" "Autograph"
