| Phrase | lump |
| Text | The word "lump," in this podcast, means a hard, raised area of tissue (part of the body) under the skin: "Feel this lump. Do you think it could be cancer?" A "lump" is also any solid piece of something that has an irregular shape: "My gravy always has too many lumps in it." Or, "Try using a strainer to get rid of lumps in the sauce." The phrase "to have a lump in (one's) throat" means that one wants to cry or feels that one must cry: "That movie was so sad! I had a lump in my throat the whole time." Finally, the phrase "to take (one's) lumps" means to accept bad things as they happen, but not be strongly influenced by them: "The job was awful, but she took her lumps and moved on." |
