| Phrase | sharp |
| Text | The word "sharp," in this podcast, means able to think clearly, without any confusion: "Helen is 90 years old and her body is starting to fall part, but her mind is still sharp." Someone who is "sharp-eyed" is very observant and able to see well: "Sharp-eyed viewers have found a lot of inconsistencies in movies, such as when the level of liquid in a character's cup changes abruptly between shots." The phrase "sharp-eared" means able to hear very well: "You must be really sharp-eared to be able to hear that conversation from across the room." The phrase "sharp-tongued" describes someone who says many mean, critical things about others: "Randall's sharp-tongued mother never has anything nice to say about his girlfriends." Finally, the phrase "sharp-witted" means able to think very quickly and react accordingly: "We need a sharp-witted presenter who can respond quickly to the audience's hostile questions." |
