Episode Title | Having Well- and Badly-Behaved Children |
Phrase | handful |
Text | The word "handful," in this podcast, means a lot of work, or something that is challenging to deal with and manage: "Young children can be a handful, but they're also a source of so much joy and happiness." A "handful" is also the amount of something that one can hold in one hand: "She added a handful of sliced carrots to the stew." Or, "He often eats a handful of almonds as a snack in the afternoon." Finally, a "handful" can be used to describe a small amount of something or a small number of something: "They reserved a large conference room because they thought a lot of people would attend, but only a handful of people came to the meeting." |
