Cough up 吐出、掏出
    2020-09-29  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A: Have you decided which school to send your son to next year?

B: Not yet. There is a public school near my home, but perhaps I will cough up extra money to send him to a private one.

Note: Literally the idiom means “to get something out of the body by coughing.” It can also mean “to confess.” As a slang term, it also means “to produce or present something, such as an amount of money.” For example: It’s time that the delinquent members cough up their dues.
