Thinking similarly about something.I was on the same page as my friend about our plans for a holiday.
No longer current or in style.Computer equipment becomes out-of-date very quickly.
In order to be polite to someone.We phoned our customers out of courtesy to tell them about the late arrival of the products.
Uncontrollable, wild.The soccer fans were out of control after their team won the championship.
Outside the boundaries of a playing area.The ball was out of bounds and the boy had to go over the fence to get it.
Of an exaggerated proportion.The complaints of the students were out of all proportion to what the problem was.
To not work or operate, to not be able to do something.The player will be out of action for many more weeks.
Suddenly, without warning.The orders from our boss came out of a clear blue sky and everybody was surprised.
To have fallen asleep very quickly.I went to bed early last night and I was out like a light.
