Episode Title Talking About Intelligence
Phrase dense
Text The word "dense," in this podcast, means stupid, dumb, unintelligent, and not able to understand things very easily: "He seems too dense to learn to play this well." The word "dense" also means thick and difficult to see through or walk through: "The air was dense with black smoke from the forest fires." Or, "They had to use a knife to cut through the dense plants blocking the trail." "Dense writing" is writing that is hard to understand, either because it is very technical or because it uses a lot of unnecessary words: "The professor thought that his dense writing made him seem intelligent, but it really just made it impossible for other people to understand what he wanted to say."
