Episode Title | Shopping for Men's Shoes |
Phrase | boot |
Text | In this podcast, the word "boots" means very tall shoes that cover part or all of the leg, often with a long zipper on the side: "These high-heeled boots are glamorous and sexy, but almost impossible to walk in." When talking about a car, a "boot" is a heavy metal object that police officers put on the wheel of a car so that it cannot be moved: "We parked in the no-parking zone for only ten minutes, but when we got back to the car, we found that there was a boot on the front wheel." Finally, the phrase "to get/give the boot" means to be fired or to fire someone from a job: "If the merger is approved, a lot of employees are going to get the boot." |
