Episode Title | Talking About Attractive Men and Women |
Phrase | babe |
Text | The word "babe," in this podcast, means a beautiful, very attractive young woman: "He's telling everybody that his new girlfriend is a babe." The word "babe" can also be used when speaking to a young woman, especially a girlfriend, although it may be considered rude or inappropriate: "Hey babe, do you want to go see a movie with me on Friday?" A "babe" is sometimes a human baby: "The young mother leaned over her babe to protect him from the rain." Finally, the phrase "a babe in the woods" describes someone who is very naïve and can be tricked or fooled easily: "Armando may be very intelligent, but he is a babe in arms in social situations and people often take advantage of him." |
