Question

ESLPod_0508_WE_0690 Regretting Past Actions The phrase "to freak out," in this podcast, means to lose control of oneself and panic, especially when one is very worried: "Gretel freaked out when she lost her son at the shopping center." A "freak" is a person who is so interested in something that other people think is strange: "Jerry is a golf freak who plays golf at least five days a week, and watches golf on TV the other days." A "control freak" is a person who likes to be in control and doesn't like to let other people help: "He's such a control freak that he didn't let anyone work on his project, even though it meant he had to work 90 hours each week." Finally, a "freak of nature" is a natural event that is very unusual: "It would be a freak of nature if it snowed in Florida in July."
