Phrase posted
Text In this podcast, the word "posted" means hung, written and displayed on a wall for people to see, not hidden: "The rules are posted on a wall where all the campers can see them." A "post" can be a position or a job, especially in the government or in a large organization: "Who will get the top post in the new office?" When talking about construction, a "post" is a strong, tall piece of wood or metal used to support other objects: "How many posts will we need for the fence?" Or, "I wish this post weren't here in the middle of the room, but it holds up the roof." Finally, the old-fashioned and rude phrase "as deaf as a post" describes someone who has very bad or no hearing: "You'll have to speak louder. She's as deaf as a post."
