made out
Managed to see
Made out has several distinct meanings depending on context.
To make out words or shapes is to discern them with difficulty: I could barely make out the sign through the fog.
To make out that something is the case is to claim or represent it: He made out that he'd never received the letter.
To make out with someone is to kiss and caress, sometimes as a prelude to sex: We made out in the back seat.
How someone made out refers to how they fared: How did you make out at the interview?
