Episode Title Measuring Mass and Volume
Phrase cup
Text The word "cup," in this podcast, means a unit for measuring liquids or volume, equal to 0.5 pint or 237 milliliters: "Some people say it's important to drink at least eight cups of water each day." A "cup" can also be a small, round container that is open at the top, used for drinking: "Would you like a cup of tea after dinner?" Or, "The host asked the guests to write their names on the plastic cups." The phrase "not (one's) cup of tea" is used to refer to something that one does not enjoy or like: "Golf is not my cup of tea." Finally, the "cup of one's hand" refers to the space created in one's palm when one holds the hand upward and curls the fingers: "The little girl gently held the frog in the cup of her hand."
