Phrase margin
Text The word "margin," in this podcast, means the empty white space at the top, bottom, or side of a page: "This report is 20 pages long, but it has large margins, so there isn't very much text to read." A "margin" is also the number of votes or the amount of time that someone wins by: "The president won the election by a 35% margin." In business, a "profit margin" is how much money a business has made after it pays all of its expenses: "In its first year, the restaurant had a 15% profit margin, but next year, it should be higher." Finally, a "margin" can be the amount of space or time that one has to be able to do something: "Our flight lands in Chicago at 4:20, but then we have to catch another flight at 4:45, leaving us a very small margin for delays."
