Question about English (US)
If someone says "hey do you want to come out for dinner?" what does "come out for" exactly mean here? Because there seems to be two possible definitions:
1) come out for ... to agree, support (an idea), therefore, "do you want to agree/support the idea of going out for dinner?"
2) come out for ... literally, "come out (of your house), or show up" (and why? it is) "for dinner."

@coy thank you! So, can I say, "in the meeting, most of the members said they agree with the new plan, but there was someone who didn't want to come out for it." (To agree and support)"

@hirofumi ....no, that would be "someone who didn't go for it" or just "someone who didn't."
