Text | In this podcast, the word "counter" means a long, table-like surface, usually in a kitchen or bathroom: "If you spill toothpaste on the bathroom counter, please clean it up." A "counter" is also a person or device that counts things: "This website has a counter that shows how many people have visited the site." A "bean counter" is an informal and sometimes impolite way to talk about an accountant, or a person who counts money for a company: "We may be bean counters in this company, but without us, the company would be in a financial mess." An "over-the-counter" drug is a medicine that one can buy at a pharmacy or other store without a doctor's written permission: "Is acetaminophen an over-the-counter drug, or do I need to speak with my doctor first?" |
