| Phrase | to claim credit |
| Text | The phrase "to claim credit," in this podcast, means to state that one is responsible for something good that has happened, and that one should receive praise, recognition, or rewards for it: "Which country claims credit for sending the first living creature into outer space?" The phrase "on credit" means to take or receive something now, but pay for it later: "Most Americans buy their car on credit, not with all cash." The phrase "to (someone's) credit" is used to praise another person and say that he or she has done something well: "James gets angry easily at work, but to his credit, he never yells at his children." Finally, "the credits" are the long list of names at the end of a movie or TV show, recognizing all the people who helped to create it: "Normally we ignore the credits, but my cousin helped with the lighting, so we watched until we saw her name." |
