Text In this podcast, the suffix "-free" means without something: "Is this beef hormone-free?" Or, "Phosphate-free dishwashing detergents are best for the environment, but they don't clean dishes very well." Or, "I'd like a latte with fat-free milk, please." "Duty-free goods" are items that are purchased in another country without paying taxes on them: "A lot of people like to buy duty-free cigarettes and liquor when they fly internationally." The phrase "footloose and fancy-free" means carefree and without responsibilities or obligations: "Enjoy being footloose and fancy-free now, because once you get married and have children, everything will change." Finally, the phrase "free-for-all" describes a situation where everything and anything can happen: "Two students got into a fight, and soon it became a free-for-all as other students joined in."
