901 - Phrasal Verb Frida - Crank Out
Hey there! It’s Michael here — and welcome back to another Happy English, Phrasal Verb Friday.
I’m here every Friday with a quick, one-point English lesson to help you learn a new phrasal verb and sound more natural when you speak.

Today’s phrasal verb is crank out. When you crank something out, it means you produce it quickly, often in large amounts. This phrase is often used for things like writing, work, or manufacturing — anything that can be produced at a fast pace, sometimes with a focus on quantity over quality.

  • The factory in the next town cranks out thousands of sneakers every week.
  • My friend Amanda writes for a travel blog, and last week she cranked out five articles in just two days!
  • And I remember when I was in college — we all cranked out our final papers right before the deadline. Typical, right?

And hey, here’s a little pronunciation tip: crank out… crank-out. The K at the end of crank links smoothly into the O of out. Crank-out.

So how about you? What’s something you’ve cranked out lately — work, content, projects, maybe a bunch of emails? Leave a comment, and don’t forget to follow or subscribe so you don’t miss the next
Happy English Podcast and next week’s Phrasal Verb Friday. Thanks for listening — and until next time, keep learning and keep it cool.
