| Text | In this podcast, the word "blank" means empty, or without anything written on a page or in a particular space: "All of a sudden, the computer screen went blank and we couldn't get it to work at all." The phrase "a blank face" is used to describe an expressionless face, or a face that doesn't show any emotion or interest: "The professor was disappointed to see his students' blank faces." If someone's "mind goes blank," it means that he or she suddenly cannot remember something and does not know what to say: "Shelby is really nervous about speaking in public because she's afraid her mind will go blank once she goes on stage." Finally, the phrase "point-blank" means very directly: "Jane finally asked her boyfriend point-blank: 'Are we going to get married soon?'" |
