Phrase to fake
Text The verb "to fake," in this podcast, means to pretend that something is happening, especially to pretend to be sick when one really isn't: "Do you really have a headache, or are you just faking it so you don't have to go to the meeting?" In sports, the verb "to fake" means to make someone think that one will move in a particular direction, but then actually move in a different direction: "The soccer player faked a move to the right, but then moved the ball around the other player toward the left." Finally, the phrase "to fake (someone) out" means to trick or fool someone, or to make someone think that one will do something when one actually plans to do something else: "Sarah has been pretending to go to the office each morning, but she actually lost her job two months ago. She's really faking her family out!"
