Text | The verb "to board," in this podcast, means to pay for an animal, usually a dog, to be kept, fed, and cared for by a small business (a kennel) while one is traveling: "Do you have recommendations for places where we can board our dog while we're in Nashville next month?" The phrase "to board (something) up" means to use pieces of wood to cover a window, door, or an open hole: "They're hurrying to board up the windows before the hurricane hits land." A "diving board" is the platform above a swimming pool that one jumps from to land in the water: "He jumped off the diving board in a graceful swan dive." Finally, the phrase "to go back to the drawing board" means to start again with an entirely new idea or plan: "Our proposal was rejected, so we have to go back to the drawing board." |
