Phrase crane
Text In this podcast, the word "crane" means a large machine that moves heavy objects by picking them up with a hook attached to a large rope hanging from the top of a long arm or beam: "Cranes need to have a very heavy base so that they don't fall over when they pick up heavy objects." A "crane" is also a type of bird that has very long legs and lives near the water: "They saw a lot of cranes when they went bird-watching." As a verb, "to crane" means to stretch or to move in one direction: "Everyone was craning their neck to see what was happening." Or, "The entire time the children were downtown, they were craning their necks to look up to the top of the skyscrapers."
