Episode Title Money Laundering
Phrase lord
Text In this podcast, the phrase "drug lord" means a very powerful person who sells illegal drugs and/or controls many people who sell illegal drugs: "Drug lords tend to be a bigger problem in large cities than in small, rural towns." When talking about Christianity, "Lord" with an uppercase L refers to God or Jesus, "Thank you, Lord, for this food that we are about to eat." Someone's "lord and master" is a person who has complete control and authority over another person: "You're my husband, not my lord and master." Finally, as a verb, "to lord (something) over (someone)" means to use one's power or benefit in a way that shows one is better than others, or superior in some way: "When Loretta became engaged to a billionaire, she seemed to lord it over her girlfriends."
