Text In this podcast, the word "dash" means a small amount of something, equal to the amount that comes out of a shaker when one turns it upside down and shakes it one time: "You'll need more than a dash of baking soda if you want those biscuits to rise." The word "dash" can also refer to a very fast run: "The race ended with a dash to the finish line." The phrase "to make a dash" means to run somewhere very quickly: "It started raining, so they made a dash for that office buliding." Finally, when talking about punctuation, a "dash" is a wide hyphen (-), used to indicate a break in thought: "Come home soon-the kids are waiting for you."
