| Phrase | flash |
| Text | The word "flash," in this podcast, means the quick, bright light that a camera produces to take a picture when it is dark: "When you use a flash to take a picture of someone wearing glasses, sometimes the reflected light makes it difficult to see the person's face." A "flash" can also be any other quick, bright light that comes and goes quickly: "Did you see that flash of lightning?" Sometimes a "flash" is a feeling that one gets very suddenly: "In a flash of anger, he hit the child." On a news program, a "flash," or "newsflash" is a small amount of information about something that's happening at the moment: "CNN just had a newsflash about the hurricanes in Florida." The phrase "in a flash" means very quickly: "I can get that information for you in a flash!" |
