| Phrase | fool |
| Text | A "fool" is a silly or stupid person who does not think clearly. In this podcast, the phrase "a fool with a tool is still a fool" means that even the best tools are useless if the person using them does not have the knowledge or experience to use it properly: "Chuck bought a gourmet food processor, but he can't even make hard-boiled eggs. A fool with a tool is still a fool." The phrase "a fool and his money are soon parted" means that foolish people spend their money in wasteful ways, without thinking about it: "Who would pay $200 for that? A fool and his money are soon parted." Finally, the phrase "to send (someone) on a fool's errand" means to make someone do something that serves no purpose and is likely to be unsuccessful: "Jenna sent her husband on a fool's errand to find sunflowers in November so that she could set up for his surprise birthday party." |
