Phrase | cross |
Text | The verb "to cross," in this podcast, means to go from one side to the other side of something: "Many dogs are hit by cars when they try to cross the street." A "cross" is also the symbol made when two lines cross each other (+ or x): "Please read the agreement and then sign your name where I've put a cross." When capitalized, the "Cross" is a symbol of Christianity, because Jesus Christ was hung and died on a wooden cross: "Catholics may kiss a small Cross at the church." Catholics may also "cross themselves," meaning that they use their hand to make the symbol of the cross on their chest. If a person is "cross," it means that he or she is angry, frustrated, annoyed, or in a bad mood: "Gregory is cross because he didn't get the job he applied for." |
