| Phrase | line |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "line" means a saying or an excuse, especially one that is common and used by many people: "Sheila hates it when guys break up by using a line like, 'It isn't you, it's me.'" A "line" can also refer to one row of text in a document: "There's a typo in the second line of the fourth paragraph." The phrase "to drop (someone) a line" means to communicate with someone by sending a brief note: "I know you're busy, but please take the time to drop us a line and let us know how you're doing." Finally, the phrase "to be out of line" means to do something that is inappropriate: "That comment was out of line! Please tell her you're sorry." |
