Phrase knock
Text The word "knock," in this podcast, means the sound of one's knuckles (the bony parts of on the back of the hand at the base of the fingers) hitting against a door to let others know that one wants to enter: "On Halloween night, there was a knock at the door and then the sound of children saying, 'Trick or Treat.'" The verb "to knock" means to produce that noise: "The doorbell doesn't work, so you'll have to knock." A "knock" can also be what happens when something hits one's body: "Pasindu suffered a bad knock to the head, but he'll recover." Finally, the phrase "school of hard knocks" describes how people learn from bad experiences in life: "Getting in a car accident, getting fired, and getting divorced are all just parts of the school of hard knocks."
