| Phrase | run-down |
| Text | In this podcast, the phrase "run-down" means old, heavily used, and starting to fall apart: "Our company does great work, but when clients come to visit us in this run-down office, it give them a bad impression. It's time to move into a nicer building." A "run-in" is an argument, disagreement, or fight with someone: "He had a small run-in with the police on his way home last night, but he wasn't given a ticket or arrested." A "run-off" is a continuation of a competition when there isn't a clear winner: "If nobody gets more than 50% of the votes, then we'll have to have a run-off between the top two candidates." Finally, a "run-through" is a rehearsal before an actual performance: "Let's meet on Friday for a final run-through before the show begins." |
