| Episode Title | Attending an Auction |
| Phrase | lot |
| Text | The word "lot," in this podcast, means a group of objects that are sold together: "This auction catalog describes all the lots in great detail." The phrase "(one's) lot in life" refers to one's situation, especially when it is not a good or happy one and when one does not have much or any control over it: "Do you really think poverty is your lot in life?" The phrase "to draw lots" or "to cast lots" means to decide who will do or receive something by having each person take one of several pieces of paper or an object from a container, where one is different from all the others: "Nobody wanted to give the first presentation, so they decided to draw lots." Finally, a "lot" can refer to a piece of land: "Do you know if anyone's planning to build a house on that empty lot?" |
