Phrase | notice |
Text | The word "notice," in this podcast, means notification, or an official written statement letting one know something: "Most magazines send notices to renew a few months before a subscription expires." The phrase "until further notice" means that things will continue in a particular way until a change is made and announced: "Due to the mice found in our building, no one is allowed to eat at their desk until further notice." The phrase "on short notice" means without very much advance notice, or without very much time to prepare for something: "As the fighting continued, people were told to pack their bags and be ready to leave the city on short notice." Finally, the phrase "to give notice" means to tell one's boss that one is quitting one's job: "The company asks all its employees to give two weeks' notice." |
