| Phrase | after |
| Text | The word "after," in this podcast, means looking for or trying to have, get, or achieve: "This is the job I've been after for all these years." If something is "sought-after," it is wanted by many people or wanted very much: "Wow, congratulations on getting the most sought-after award in your field!" The phrase "after-effect" refers to a negative consequence that lasts for a long time: "We're still recovering from the after-effects of filing for bankruptcy three years ago." The polite phrase "after you" means that another person should do something first: "We arrived at the door at the same time, but the gentleman held open the door and said, 'After you,' letting me walk in first." Finally, the phrase "to take after" means to resemble another person in some way: "He took after his parents and is very talented musically." |
