Text | In this podcast, the phrase "house wine" means an inexpensive wine sold in a restaurant, usually by the glass, without a well-known brand: "The house wine is so good! Why would I want to pay more for a more famous bottle?" The phrase "on the house" is used when a restaurant or bar gives a customer something for free: "Try our crab cakes. They're on the house." The phrase "to bring the house down" means to make a lot of people laugh: "The comedian was so funny. She really brought the house down." Finally, the phrase "to set up house" means to begin living with someone: "After graduating from college, they set up house together and started planning their wedding." |
