| Phrase | to know full well |
| Text | The phrase "to know full well," in this podcast, means to know something entirely and very clearly, especially when one is pretending not to know or understand something: "Why did you ask Gerome to join us at the bar when you know full well he doesn't drink?" The phrases "to know (something) inside out" and "to know (something) backwards and forwards" mean to know something extremely well or perfectly: "Loren has been working here for 30 years. She knows this company inside out." Or, "Lee is the person to ask. He knows contract law backwards and forwards." Finally, the phrase "to know (one's) way around (something)" means to be very familiar with something so that one is confident and knows how to do something: "Bryan has been working on trucks since he was a child, so he really knows his way around diesel engines." |
