worn out your welcome

[Help_Needed_Guy]

Hi. please help me with this :

since he is drunk, and star struck, he out wears his welcome.

Thanks.

"To wear out your welcome" means to stay somewhere more than you are welcome to stay - to stay longer than your hosts would like you to, to become unwanted. In your case it means to me people do not want to see him.

But I suppose you could find that in dictionaries...

Thanks. now it makes sense.

Ah, there it is. Found it in the third dictionary I looked:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/wear+out+welcome

—Idiom
10. wear out one's welcome, to make one's visits so frequent or of such long duration that they become offensive: Your cousins have long since worn out their welcome.

'Drunk and star struck'?? I suggest using this combination with caution.
