Episode Title | Getting a Cold |
Phrase | cold |
Text | The word "cold," in this podcast, means an illness that is very common, especially in the winter, but not very serious: "Danielle didn't go to work today, because she has a cold." Normally, the word "cold" refers to a low temperature: "Put on a hat because it is very cold outside today." However, when we talk about people being "cold," we mean that they are unfeeling, or that they don't show very much emotion: "Reese is so cold that he didn't even cry when his mother died." Finally, the phrase "to get cold feet" means to become nervous or worried about something that one had planned to do, suddenly not wanting to do it anymore: "Some men get cold feet a few hours before their wedding." |
