| Phrase | built |
| Text | The word "built," in this podcast, means with well-defined muscles, or with a strong, beautiful body that is very powerful and can lift heavy things: "Elvira dreams of dating a male model who is tall, dark, and built." A "built-in" is something that is part of something else and cannot be moved: "They bought a 1929 house with beautiful built-in bookcases." The phrase "built-up" refers to an area that has a lot of buildings and not very many natural areas: "We lived in a built-up area for years before we finally realized that we wanted to live in a more rural area." Finally, the phrase "jerry-built" or "jerry-rigged" refers to something that is built very poorly and will not last for very long: "The tornado victims are living in jerry-built shelters until they can find permanent housing." |
