Quit on Meaning in English
expression
Definition
To stop supporting, helping, or being there for someone, especially when they are still counting on you.
Usage & Nuances
Mostly informal and slightly emotional; often used when someone lets another down, e.g., 'Don't quit on me!' Usually about people, but can sometimes refer to machines ('My car quit on me'). Not the same as simply quitting something; it emphasizes abandoning someone (or rarely something) who still needs support.
