| Episode Title | Making Repairs on the Outside of a House |
| Phrase | crack |
| Text | The word "crack," in this podcast, means a narrow, long opening in a wall, a piece of concrete, a piece of wood, or any other type of smooth, solid surface: "After the earthquake, they noticed several cracks in the walls of their old home." The word "crack" can also mean a joke, especially if it was rude: "Making cracks like that is never appropriate in the workplace." The phrase "to take a crack at (something)" means to try to do something that is difficult when one doesn't know whether one will be successful: "I've never changed the printer ink before, but I'll take a crack at it." Finally, the phrase "at the crack of dawn" means very early in the morning: "Their baby started crying at the crack of dawn." |
