| Phrase | to keep (someone) guessing |
| Text | In this podcast, the phrase "to keep (someone) guessing" means to make someone feel anticipation and suspense, making them continue to wonder about something and not telling him or her the answer: "The weather has been very unpredictable lately, always keeping us guessing about what to wear." The phrases "guess what" and you'll never guess what" are used when one has exciting news that will surprise another person: "Guess what! Meghan got accepted at Stanford University!" Or, "You'll never guess what happened to me this morning." Finally, an "educated guess" is an attempt to answer a question based on some information, while a "wild guess" is an attempt to answer a question without putting much thought or effort into it: "Please try to answer with an educated guess. Don't just give us a wild guess without giving it any thought." |
