| Text | The word "odds," in this podcast, means the probability, likelihood, or chance that something will happen: "What are the odds that it will rain this weekend?" When talking about math, an "odd" number is a number that is not evenly divisible by two: "The students began to recite the odd numbers in order: '1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11....'" Something that is "odd" is strange or unusual: "Andrew is a very odd man who always wears a suit and tie, even to picnics and soccer games." Finally, the phrase "the odd (something)" can describe something that happens occasionally, but not often or regularly: "They have the odd argument, but most of the time they are very happy together." |
