| Phrase | calling |
| Text | The word "calling," in this podcast, means what one is meant to do, or the thing that one feels passionate about and is very good at doing: "Jimmy's calling has always been to entertain and to make other people laugh." The word often refers to religious work: "The priest recognized his calling when he was quite young." The phrase "name-calling" describes trying to insult or offend other people by using mean words to describe them: "The students were removed from the playground as punishment for their name-calling when the teacher heard them call each other 'dummy' and 'idiot.'" Finally, a "calling card" is something that one leaves behind, indicating that one was there: "Those droppings are calling cards from the deer that live in the nearby woods." |
