| Phrase | banner day |
| Text | In this podcast, the phrase "banner day" or "banner year" means an important, noteworthy day or year that should be recognized and remembered: "This was a banner day for our company. We earned three awards at the ceremony." Or, "This was a banner year for sales." Normally a "banner" is a large, long piece of cloth or paper with words or images, often used to cover a table or to lead a group in a parade: "We need a big banner with our company's logo for our table at the trade show." The phrase "to wave the banner" means to support some cause: "Greenpeace tries to wave the banner of environmentalism." A "banner" can also refer to a flag. For example, the U.S. flag is sometimes called the "star-spangled" (covered with many stars) banner. |
