| Episode Title | Driving an Off-Road Vehicle |
| Phrase | baby |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "baby" is used informally to refer to a vehicle or a piece of equipment that is powerful and cool, and that one likes very much: "How much did you have to pay for that baby?" The word "baby" can also be used as a term of endearment or affection for a woman or for a young child: "Hey, baby, are you ready for our date?" Or, "I can't believe my baby is all grown up!" Calling someone a "baby" is the same as saying that someone is a coward who is scared or fearful: "Hans screamed and cried during the horror movie. He's such a baby." Finally, a "cry-baby" is someone who complains, whines, and cries too much, like a young child: "Jasnery is a cry-baby who is used to getting her way." |
