Phrase callous
Text In this podcast, the word "callous" means unfeeling, or without considering another person's feelings: "He is a very callous man who never thinks about other people's feelings." The word is often used in the phrase "callous remark" to talk about a mean thing that someone said: "Her callous remark really hurt my feelings." There is another word that sounds the same, but is spelled differently and has a different meaning: a "callus" is an area of very thick, hard skin, especially on the bottom of one's foot: "She has a big callous on her finger from holding her pen too tightly." Or, "He's going to get a pedicure to try to get rid of the large calluses on his feet."
