Phrase | to hook (something) up |
Text | The phrase "to hook (something) up," in this podcast, means to connect cords and cables between two machines: "Carlos is hooking up a computer for the new employee." The phrase "to hook up" can also mean for two people to begin dating, but sometimes it has a sexual meaning: "Maxine and Jeffrey hooked up at the party last weekend." A "hook" is a small piece of metal or plastic that is bent to hold something: "Please hang your jacket and purse on the hook behind the door." Or "When you go fishing and you catch a fish, you have to take the hook out of the fish's mouth." In a famous story, "Captain Hook" is a man with a large metal hook instead of a hand. |
