ESLPod_0531_WE_0736 Describing Fabric Patterns The word "busy," in this podcast, means with a lot of things to look at, so that one's eyes don't know what to focus on: "This advertisement is too busy. Can you help us create a simpler, cleaner ad that will help sell our products?" The word "busy" normally means occupied, unavailable, or doing many activities: "Ms. Crenshaw is busy right now, but I'll let her know you came by." When talking about a telephone call, "busy" refers to the sound that one hears when the person whom one has called is already using the phone to talk to someone else: "I called Uncle Sarmi, but his phone was busy. I'll call him again later." Finally, a "busybody" is a person who is very interested in other people's lives and tries to learn their secrets: "Shaina is such a busybody! I wish she'd stop asking so many personal questions."
