Phrase | grain |
Text | The word "grain," in this podcast, means the lines and patterns on the surface of a cut piece of wood: "It's impossible to know what the grain will look like before you cut into a piece of wood." The word "grain" also refers to many types of food that are the seeds of grass-like crops: "The doctor recommended eating more whole grains, like wheat, rye, and barley." A "grain" can also be a very small piece of something: "The lid fell off of the salt shaker, leaving grains of salt all over the table." Finally, "a grain of truth" is a very small amount of truth mixed in with lies or fiction: "The book is fiction, but it has a few grains of truth." |
