| Text | In this podcast, the word "blazing" means burning brightly and warmly, with many large flames: "The campers sat around the blazing fire, roasting marshmallows and telling ghost stories." The word "blazing" also means very hot: "This blazing sun is so hot, I bet we could fry eggs on the sidewalk!" Sometimes "blazing" means very angry: "Don't make him mad. He has a blazing temper." As a noun, a "blaze" is a large fire: "The firefighters have nearly put out the blaze downtown." Finally, the phrase "a blaze of glory" refers to a lot of public attention and admiration and praise for one's work: "All politicians dream of ending their term of office in a blaze of glory, but few of them do." |
