| Text | In this podcast, the word "joint" means a point where two body parts connect and can move toward and away from each other: "As we get older, we lose a lot of flexibility in our joints." A "joint" can also refer to the point where two objects meet in a building: "We need to seal the joints around the doors, because a lot of cold air is entering the house there." The phrase "out of joint" means not working properly or not fitting in: "Ever since we hired that new manager, things have seemed out of joint in his department." Finally, a "joint" is an informal way of calling a cigarette filled with marijuana: "Did you ever smoke a joint when you were a college student?" |
