Phrase | drug |
Text | The word "drug," in this podcast, means a chemical or herbal substance used to improve one's help, reduce pain, or otherwise make one feel better, usually swallowed, injected, or smoked: "Does your health insurance cover the costs of these drugs?" The word "drug" also refers to narcotics, or illegal drugs like marijuana and heroin: "It's illegal to sell drugs, especially near schools." The phrase "to be drugged" means for someone to be given a drug secretly, usually so that the person becomes unconscious (unaware of one's surroundings): "Hank was drugged at the bar, and when he woke up, he was in an unfamiliar place and his wallet and cell phone had been stolen." Finally, the phrase "to be like a drug" means that an activity makes one feel very good and want to continue doing it: "For some people, running is like a drug." |
