Phrase | blanket |
Text | In this podcast, the verb "to blanket" means to cover something entirely: "The city looks so peaceful when it's blanketed with fresh snow." Normally a "blanket" is a thick cover for a bed that one sleeps under in order to stay warm: "It's going to be really cold tonight, so make sure you have enough blankets." A "security blanket" is also used to describe any object that someone likes to have because it makes him or her feel calmer or less anxious: "Olga has a necklace that she uses like a security blanket, always touching it when she feels nervous or scared." Finally, someone who ruins another person's fun can be called a "wet blanket": "Why did you tell everyone it was time for the party to end? You're such a wet blanket!" |
