Phrase belt
Text In this podcast, the word "belt" means a wide band of rubber (soft plastic) that moves in a circle over a table to carry items from one end of a table to another: "The luggage belts at the airport were broken, so the poor employees had to carry all the suitcases by hand." A "belt" is also a narrow strip of leather, cloth, or metal worn around one's waist to keep your pants on: "If you're going to wear a black suit, you should wear a black belt, not a brown one." As a verb, "to belt" is used informally to mean to hit something or someone very hard. For example, "The baseball player belted the ball and it flew over the fence." "To belt" can also be used informally to mean to sing very loudly: "At the college football game, the fans from our school belted out our school song when one of the players scored a touchdown to win the game."
