Phrase | instant |
Text | In this podcast, the word "instant" means sudden or immediate, happening right away: "Very few actors become an instant success in Hollywood. It takes most actors years and years to launch their career." When talking about food, the word "instant" describes something that can be prepared very quickly, usually just by adding hot water: "When they go camping, they usually just take instant coffee and instant oatmeal so they don't have to do anything but boil water and stir." Finally, the phrase "instant replay" describes how important actions in sports games can be shown again immediately after they happen by showing the video: "The referee gave the point to the winning team, but the instant replay showed that he had made a mistake." |
