Definitions
British English phrasal verb meaning to leave someone or something off a list, omit an item, or drop a person from a group. It's the kind of everyday expression you'd hear when someone notices they weren't included in an email chain, left off a party invite, or overlooked on a team sheet. Straightforward and unpretentious, it's particularly common in conversational and informal writing across the UK and functions as a more casual synonym for 'leave out' or 'exclude'.
