Text The word "fair," in this podcast, means right, just, and reasonable, or treating people equally or in the same way, without giving preference to anyone: "It isn't fair to make your husband wash the dishes and sweep the floors while you sit and watch TV." The phrase "fair enough" means okay or alright and is used to show that one agrees with something: "When I told Becky that I would work her hours this week if she would work mine next week, she said, 'Fair enough.'" The word "fair" also describes the coloring of a person who has very light skin and usually light blonde or red hair: "Merlie is very fair, so she has to wear a lot of sunscreen whenever she goes outside." Finally, the phrase "to give (someone) a fair shake" means to give someone an equal opportunity or equal consideration: "We try to give all the applicants a fair shake during the interview process."
