Phrase sharp
Text In this podcast, the word "sharp" means intelligent, or able to think quickly and clearly: "Frank is really sharp, and he's always able to think of funny things to say in any situation." The word "sharp" also means having a strong point or edge: "Do you have any sharper knives? This one is too dull to cut through the meat." If someone has a "sharp face," it means that he or she has a pointed nose and chin. If someone has a "sharp tongue," it means that he or she says very critical things or speaks very unpleasantly. The word "sharp" can also mean a very quick and significant change: "Did you know that there was a sharp fall in the stock market last week?" Or, "There was a sharp increase in crime in New York last year."
