Episode Title | Ordering Coffee and Tea |
Phrase | drip |
Text | The word "drip," in this podcast, means coffee that is brewed (made) by passing hot water over ground coffee beans: "This drip coffee maker has a timer, so that it can start making coffee before we wake up, to be sure the coffee is hot and ready when we get up." Informally, when talking about medicine and healthcare, a "drip" can refer to an IV, or a small bag of liquid with a tube connected to a needle in a patient's skin to transfer liquids into the blood: "When Jacques became dehydrated, the nurse put him on a saline drip." Finally, a "drip" can also be the sound of a drop of liquid falling onto something else: "The drip from the kitchen sink is keeping me awake. Could you please fix it?" |
