Episode Title | Shopping for Men's Shoes |
Phrase | lace |
Text | The word "laces," in this podcast, means shoelaces, or a fabric or leather strip or cord that is woven through small holes on the opposite sides of a shoe, with the ends tied together, to hold the shoe to the foot: "Those shoes would look a lot better with brown laces instead of white ones." "Lace" refers to fancy cloth that has patterns (designs) made from many small holes, often made by hand, and often used in women's clothing: "Hanging some lace curtains would make the living room feel more feminine." Finally, the phrase "to be laced with (something)" means to have some faint quality: "When Hannah died, our tears of sadness were laced with relief that her suffering was finally over." |
