MrPernickety  +  871622 Sat, 22 Aug 09 06:16 PM Hi,   Does "to play catch-up" mean "to catch up on the current events" ? Can I use it this way: 1. I've been away for a while, I need to play some catch-up first. 2. You've been out of touch for some time now, so a little playing catch-up is in order   Thanks a bunch !

Too ambiguous, you need to say what you're trying to catch-up with. 2. Just my opinion, but it doesn't sound quite right to suggest that someone else needs to play catch-up.
