Episode Title Describing People's Moods
Phrase on edge
Text In this podcast, the phrase "on edge" means nervous and excited about something: "The actress always feels on edge right before her performances." An "edge" is the side or outside line of something: "A box has 12 edges." Or, "They want to build a home on the edge of town." An "edge" is also the sharp side of a knife or similar object: "Be careful with that knife, because the edge is very sharp and you might cut yourself." A "competitive edge" is something that a company does better than other companies do, and therefore is more successful: "Our company's competitive edge is the creativity of its employees." If something is "cutting-edge," it is the newest or most advanced thing, especially in technology: "We sell the most cutting-edge computers and software."
