Phrase to label
Text In this podcast, the verb "to label" means to put a small piece of paper with a written description onto another object, so that it is easy to know what that object is: "She labeled all her children's school supplies with a sticker that said: 'Property of Melina'." The phrase "to label (someone) as (something)" means to describe someone in a way that may not be true: "As a child, he was always labeled as a poor student, but the truth was that he just needed glasses." When talking about clothing, a "label" is the small piece of fabric sewn on the inside that has the name of the manufacturer and washing instructions: "According to the label, this sweater needs to be washed by hand."
