Can you cover me?

-

Cover for; cover up; cover

I want to bunk classes today, man can you cover for me?
The requestor wants his friend to pitch in for him by staying in class and taking the needful notes. 

I covered up his absence while he was out of office on personal work. 
It could also mean that you fake someone's presence or hide some details by lying. Yeh not cool but could be a necessity sometimes. 

Guys, cover me I am crossing the field. 
In action situation either in real-life or games, team members cover each other or protect or guard during crucial junctures. The team stationed in one place would usually cover the team on the move by ensuring the vicinity is clear and attacking if there is a threat. 

And don't forget the practical usage. Insurance coverage!

So does the car insurance cover off-road driving?
Cover in this sense identified what actions are protected under the insurance and what is not. Coverage means the list of mishap situations where I am entitled to claim from the insurance company.

In specific, I will be excited about what I am buying, it fits into my budget and I won't regret it.   It is not what is best out there. It is what is best for me in what I can afford.

Inextricably intertwined?

-
When it comes to Apple, the product and the platform are inextricably intertwined — making them, essentially, one and the same. "Inextricable" is impossible to separate. Needle and Thread are inextricable.   "Intertwined" is coiled, interwoven or interlaced together. The threads are intertwined in a shoe lace.   Sadly my office and personal life have become inextricably intertwined. I will have to take some strong measures to set things right.
