| Text | In this podcast, a "stand-in" is a person who does another person's job for a period of time, especially when talking about an actor: "When we went to see the play, we were very disappointed to see a stand-in instead of the world-famous actor we had been expecting." A "standout" refers to something that is excellent, and much better than other things: "That book is a standout among the books the author has written over the past 10 years." When talking about trees, a "stand" is a group of one type of trees that grow in a particular area: "Jacques favorite picnic spot is under that stand of oak trees." Finally, in a court, the phrase "to take the stand" means to go to the part of the courtroom where a witness must tell the truth as part of a legal case. |
