Phrase to make a pass
Text The phrase "to make one more pass," in this podcast, means to try to do something one more time, especially when trying to find something while driving: "The flight instructor agreed to let her student make one more pass at landing the plane before taking control of it herself." The phrase "to make a pass at (someone)" means to try to start a romantic or sexual relationship with someone, perhaps by saying something, making a facial expression, or touching the other person: "Don't you see that man winking at you? I'm sure he's trying to make a pass at you." Finally, the phrase "to come to a pretty pass" is not very common, but means for a situation to have become very difficult or bad: "Things would have to come to a pretty pass before I'd steal food from a store."
