Phrase fling
Text The word "fling," in this podcast, means a romantic relationship that is not serious and lasts for a only a short period of time: "He was hoping for a one-weekend fling, but he was surprised when he found himself falling in love with the woman." A "fling" can also be a fun period of time when one has no worries and just enjoys oneself: "She decided to make her last month in New York a fun fling, without working or worrying about money." As a verb, "to fling" means to throw something strongly, but not necessarily very far: "When the students got home, they flung their books onto the table and turned on the TV." Finally, the verb "to fling (words)" can be used to describe saying something angrily, without thinking about the consequences: "Louise flung horrible words at her husband and felt bad about it afterward."
