Episode Title | Switching Cell Phone Plans |
Phrase | roaming |
Text | The word "roaming," in this podcast, refers to the use of a cell phone outside of the normal area where a cell phone company provides a connection to its network: "When Gregory travelled internationally, he realized it would be cheaper to rent a local cell phone than to pay the roaming fees for his own cell phone." The verb "to roam" means to walk for a long time without any particular direction or purpose: "Buffalo used to roam over the grasslands." Or, "Why don't you go outside instead of roaming around the house?" Finally, when talking about eyes, the verb "to roam (over)" can mean to look slowly at something, perhaps searching for something: "She walked into the room and her eyes slowly roamed over the crowd." |
