| Phrase | firm |
| Text | The word "firm," in this podcast, means a company that offers professional services, especially a company formed by lawyers who offer legal services: "Over the past three years, the firm has hired 10 new attorneys." Or, "How many professional services firms does a typical small business work with?" The word "firm" also means solid, not soft or squishy: "I prefer a sofa with firm cushions so that my back is straight when I'm sitting." A "firm believer" is someone who has a belief or opinion that will not change: "Grandpa has always been a firm believer that children should be seen, but not heard." Finally, when talking about contracts or money, "firm" means constant or unchanging, not subject to negotiation: "The price is $45, firm." |
