They lose a great deal of money especially on a bet or investment. The implication you know, this is what's implied. This is what is suggested of this idiom is that you lost almost everything you own. So you lost so much maybe even have to take off your shirt or give up your shirt. I guess that's the idea behind it. So you lost a great percentage of what you own or your savings or something like that. All right. Let's continue. Let's look at the two examples we have here. Jack bet everything he had on that stock and when it crashed, he really lost his shirt. Yeah that's just the way we would use it. And number two. MR. Jones put most of his savings into that company and when it went bankrupt he really lost his shirt. So he lost most of his savings. Maybe has to start all over again. He lost his shirt. Okay. Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope it was clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
