Text The phrase "on the side," in this podcast, means something that is in addition to one's regular job: "Gisele works in a bakery during the day, and sells cakes to her friends on the side." The phrase "on the side" can also refer to a food that is ordered and served separately: "Waiter, I'd like a salad, but please put the dressing on the side." To "side with someone" is to support someone in an argument: "The judge sided with the mother and said that the child should live with her."
