Episode Title Repairing Damage to an Auto Body
Phrase body
Text The phrase "auto body," in this podcast, means work done to repair or improve the shape and exterior appearance of a car, not related to the motor or other internal workings: "The insurance will cover the cost of repairing engine problems, but not auto body work." The phrase "over (one's) dead body" means that something is unacceptable and one will not allow it to happen: "My daughter wants to get a tattoo? Over my dead body!" The phrase "body language" refers to how we communicate meaning without words, through the movement and position of our body: "Theodore crossed his legs and turned away from his wife. His body language made it clear that he was angry with her." Finally, the phrase "body count" refers to the number of people who have died: "They think the body count from the earthquake could be more than 1,200."
