Leash/rope
Hi, there
If you are feeding someone some rope(i don’t know if that’s right to say. Do you know what i mean by “FEED” here? Is it wrong to use it this way?) , you can say “Let out some more” or “Take in some rope”, can’t you? As rope can be uncountable, you can say “let out/take in some rope, some more”, can’t you?
What about a leash, though? If you are walking a dog and there’s someone walking alongside you, could they say something like “Let out some more leash”? It sounds odd, doesn’t it? What could I say instead? What I am trying to say is: keep the dog on a longer leash, keep the leash looser.” Could I use “let out”?
Thank you!
