Phrase flame
Text The phrase "old flame," in this podcast, means an ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend: "Have you ever tried to contact your old flames to learn about their lives?" Normally a "flame" is one line of the bright yellow or orange light and heat that comes from a fire: "Can you please lower the flame under that pot on the stove?" Or, "Charlie called the fire department when he saw flames coming from his neighbor's house." As a verb, "to flame" means to burn brightly: "The wood was flaming in the fireplace." The verb "to flame" can also mean to write an insulting or offensive message about another person in an email or an electronic forum, such as a chat room or an online discussion group: "Dana posted a message on her blog saying how much she liked the new movie, but someone flamed her by posting a comment that she was stupid if she liked it."
