Examples of Outlet in a Sentence
Police Commissioner James O'Neill:
Think about having to respond to shootings and homicides, people hit by trains, people hit by vehicles. Think about what that does to a police officer, we're supposed to be tough and that's OK. It comes with the line of work. But where's the outlet for that ? Is it talking to your partner ? You're not getting home and talking about it.
Deputy Chief Inspector Nicole Broster:
( SWNS) The gruesome discovery took place on March 9 outside of an unidentified building in the Cricklewood neighborhood. When the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals( RSPCA) arrived to make the rescue, they had to call for backup. Deputy Chief Inspector Nicole Broster told the outlet that firefighters had to use car-crash rescue machinery to remove the section of the fence the cat was trapped on. The male ginger and white cat was found at 3:50 a.m. on March 9. ( SWNS) WHY YOUR PET ’S FOOD BOWL COULD BE MAKING YOU SICK When I got there I was incredibly shocked — in all my years with the RSPCA I have never seen anything like it. This poor cat literally had two metal posts protruding through his body.

It gathers in its riches that it may pour them out again to fertilize the Jordan plain. But the Dead Sea with the same water makes horror. For the Dead Sea has no outlet. It gets to keep.
I found my outlet through music. That's what really helped me sober up.
So I had a choice to make: Either I'm going to surrender into bonbons and living under my covers, or I'm going to go out there and find a creative outlet and thrive, and that's what I did, it just happened to be with a movie called‘The Break-Up,’.
