| Phrase | bite |
| Text | The word "bite," in this podcast, means one mouthful, or the amount of food taken into one's mouth at one time: "Take smaller bites, or you might choke!" Or, "May I have a bite of your chicken?" The phrase "a bite to eat" refers to a small or informal meal: "Let's grab a bite to eat after the movie." The word "bite" can also refer to the injury caused when an animal or insect uses its mouth on one's skin: "Yevgeny has a spider bite on his arm, and now it's red and swollen." Finally, the phrase "(one's) bark is worse than (one's) bite" describes someone who says a lot of mean things or makes many threats, but doesn't actually do anything: "Don't worry about what the boss said. Her bark is worse than her bite." |
