Hello again,
I was wondering if the expression "to wear out one's welcome" could be used in a context other than "to come more often or stay longer than is acceptable or pleasing". For example, I've borrowed my friend's car several times over the past month and today I told him I wouldn't do so again. He said, "Why not?" I said I didn't want to presume on his kindness and then I wondered if using "wear out my welcome" would be correct in this case.
Thanks in advance.
