Phrase | crack |
Text | In this podcast, the phrase "to fall through the cracks" means to be forgotten because one is concentrating on other things: "I know you're busy with work and school, but make sure that the bills you need to pay don't fall through the cracks." A "crack" is the space between two parts of something that has broken apart: "The house is old, and there are cracks in the ceiling." The phrase "at the crack of dawn" means very early in the morning: "Xavier wakes up at the crack of dawn every morning to feed the chickens." Finally, the phrase "to crack (somebody) up" means to make someone laugh very loudly or for a long time: "Renee told a very funny joke that cracked us up." |
