| Phrase | court |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "court" means the flat, rectangular surface where a basketball, tennis, or other sports game is played: "Number 16 is the best player on the court." The phrase "the ball is in (one's) court" means for something to be one's responsibility, or for one to need to take the next action: "We've done everything we can, and now the ball is in his court." A "court" is also the place where a legal trial is held: "Mariah has to go to court to testify as a witness in the murder trial." Finally, a "food court" is the area in a shopping center where there are many inexpensive fast food restaurants with a common seating area: "Let's meet at the food court for lunch and then see a movie together." |
