| Text | In this podcast, the word "heat" means a high temperature, or a feeling of strong spiciness: "The meals served at that restaurant have a lot of heat, but not much flavor." The phrase "the heat" also refers to the temperature of the surface over which something is cooked: "Please turn down the heat once the water starts to boil." A "heat wave" is a period of time with extremely high temperatures: "We had an unusual heat wave for a few weeks in late July." Finally, the phrase "a dead heat" refers to a race or competition where two or more competitors are extremely close or at exactly the same place or number of points, and nobody knows which one will win: "The horse race ended in a dead heat and no one could say who won and who lost." |
