| Phrase | to leave |
| Text | The verb "to leave," in this podcast, means to choose to end a romantic relationship with another person, especially when that other person does not want to end the relationship: "What percentage of men leave their wife for a younger woman?" The phrase "to leave home" means to move out of one's parents' home: "In the past, many Americans left home when they were 18 years old." The phrase "to leave well enough alone" means to stop trying to change a situation because its current state is acceptable: "Politicians need to learn to leave well enough alone and stop making more silly laws for us to follow." Finally, the phrase "to leave it at that" is used to show that one will not continue to do more of something: "We're about 80% done, so let's leave it at that for today and finish the report tomorrow morning." |
