Episode Title | A Business Plan |
Phrase | goods |
Text | The word "goods," in this podcast, means the products or things that people sell: "What type of goods do you plan to sell at the conference?" Goods are physical things, like cars or pencils. A "service" is something that someone does for you, such as clean your house or fix your car. The words "goods" and "services" are often used together when talking about things that customers pay for: "The bill included all of the goods and services we received on our tour." There is an informal phrase, "to get the goods on (someone)," which means to find out someone else's secrets, usually to do something bad to them: "He got the goods on his boss and tried to get more money out of him." Or, "She got the goods on the criminals and the police were able to arrest them." |
