Question about English (US)
What is the nuance that the particle "out" carries in the phrase "you have to dribble it out"? I know what "dribble" means, but what about the role that the particle "out" figuratively plays in this case?

To me, I interpret that there's something negative that can be resolved by dribbling; dribbling will make the negative thing leave (go out)
It feels similar to "work it out" or "walk it off."
You can work the pain out of your muscles by massaging them; the massaging is the work that makes the pain leave
If you have pain it your leg, you can walk until it stops hurting; until the pain is "off your leg"
