calling in a chit
2017-08-14 Steven 英语学习DayDayUp
A chit or chitty means a paper note in British English, and it can be used when you want to say receipt, note or token.
Calling in a chit as a phrasal means asking for a note to be paid off or cashed out. It is often used in the context of asking someone to return either money or favor that owed to you.
For example, "Are you asking as a friend, or are you calling in a chit?".
It means Are you asking me to do this because I'm your friend, or because I owe you a favor?

hang out somebody to dry
2017-08-20 Steven 英语学习DayDayUp
Leave somebody alone when they need help or support. In terms of where this meaning came from, I found several explanations. One of them is about the clothes. After the laundry is washed, clothes can be hung in an open space to dry, but the problem is that if the weather is not great, the clothes might become dirty, wet or even ripped. So when you hang somebody or something out to dry, you just leave them for no help and wish for luck.
Examples:
'I hate to hang you out to dry and if I could help you in another way, I would.'
'That son of a bitch left me hung out to dry last night, he finished in like 30 seconds and then just up and left!'
