Phrase | fed up |
Text | In this podcast, the phrase "fed up" means very frustrated and tired of something and not wanting to have or do it anymore, usually because one has had too much of it or because it has become too extreme: "Everyone is fed up with waiting for Jeremiah. Why is he always running late?" The word "fed" can refer to the federal government or, if it's capitalized as "Fed," to the Federal Reserve: "Why did you decide to work for the feds?" Finally, someone who is "well-fed" has plenty of food to eat, while someone who is "underfed" or "poorly fed" does not have enough to eat: "Agriculture in this country produces enough food for everyone to be well-fed, but the problem is distribution." |
