| Text | In this podcast, the phrase "good deed" means something that one does to help other people without receiving much or any benefit from it: "Xavier became known for performing good deeds without being asked." Sometimes the phrase "(one's) good deed for the day" is used sarcastically to describe someone doing something that appears to be generous and helpful, but is actually insignificant or self-serving: "Wow, you gave that beggar two cents. I guess you've done your good deed for the day." Finally, a "deed" is a title, or a piece of paper that shows ownership of a home or piece of property: "Whose name is on the deed to the house?" Or, "Who will inherit the deed to the property when the owner passes away?" |
