| Text | In this podcast, the verb "to faint" means to lose consciousness, or to fall down and seem to be asleep, unaware of what is happening around oneself, usually when one is very frightened or very hungry: "Tania fainted when she heard the bad news." When used as an adjective, "faint" means barely or just a little bit: "These cookies have a faint taste of cinnamon." Or, "Even the faintest noise distracts Jenna when she is trying to study." Finally, the phrase "to not have the faintest idea" means to not have any idea about something or to not know something at all: "We didn't have the faintest idea what the director was talking about, but we all nodded and smiled anyway." |
