Phrase stack
Text The word "stack," in this podcast, means a large number of objects that are placed on top of each other vertically: "Alice always has a large stack of books next to her bed, because she likes to read before she falls asleep." A "haystack" is a large amount of hay (straw; plant eaten by farm animals) that has been collected for use later: "How many haystacks do you need for the horses each winter?" The phrase "to find a needle in a haystack" means to search for something that will be impossible or extremely difficult to find: "Harry hopes to find the beautiful young woman he saw on the subway, but New York is a huge city, so it's going to be like finding a needle in a haystack."
