| Episode Title | Admiring a Baby |
| Phrase | gas |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "gas" means air trapped inside one's body that makes one feel uncomfortable: "We thought the baby was crying because she was sick, but the doctor said it was just gas." The word "gas" also refers to gasoline, or fuel for an automobile: "Which gas station do you go to for gas?" The phrase "step on the gas" means to accelerate in a car by pushing down on the "gas pedal" with one's foot: "We're in a hurry. Step on the gas!" Finally, a "gas mask" is a device worn over one's nose and mouth to "purify" (clean) the air and protect a person when dangerous chemicals are in the air: "Wynona often wears a gas mask, because she's worried about the effects of inhaling carbon monoxide in areas with many cars." |
