| Phrase | to drag |
| Text | In this podcast, the verb "to drag" means to do something very slowly, or for something to feel very slow, boring, and uninteresting: "This TV show is dragging. Let's watch something more interesting." The verb "to drag" also means to carry something so that part of it is touching the ground, usually because it is too big or heavy to lift into the air: "Please stop dragging your jacket on the ground. It's getting dirty." The phrase "to drag (one's) feet" or "to drag (one's) heels" means to do something very slowly because one doesn't want to do it: "I know you don't want to fire him, but stop dragging your feet and do it now so that you can stop worrying about it so much." |
