| Phrase | up front |
| Text | In this podcast, the phrase "up front" means directly and at the beginning, before something else happens: "When roommates establish clear expectations and rules up front, they are less likely to experience conflict later." A "front" can be an organization or business that prevents others from seeing illegal or secret activities: "The jewelry store on Main Street is a front for drug and arms dealing." The phrase "to put on a brave front" means to act brave and appear brave to other people when one does not feel brave: "Ivan was really upset that he didn't win the competition, but he put on a brave front and congratulated the winner." Finally, a "front office" refers to the people and divisions of a business that interact with the public: "The front office needs to be staffed by employees with really good people skills." |
