Phrase | connection |
Text | The word "connection," in this podcast, means a connecting flight, or the flight that one takes when one has flown from one airport to another, but still hasn't arrived to where one wants to go: "There weren't any direct flights from Houston to Milwaukee, so they had to get a connection in Omaha." A "connection" can also be a contact or a professional relationship with someone, especially with someone who can help one professionally: "Do you have any good connections in the energy industry?" The phrase "to make a connection with (someone)" means to feel like one understands another person and could be friends with that person: "Sidmar really felt like he made a connection with the vice-president during his interview." Finally, a "connection" can be a link or association between two things: "What's the connection between inflation and unemployment?" |
