Phrase | outlet |
Text | In this podcast, the word "outlet" means a wall socket, or the small piece on a wall that electricity comes out of to provide power to devices and appliances: "Old homes sometimes don't have outlets in the bathroom, which can be inconvenient." An "outlet" can also be a way to express one's feelings: "Exercise can be a good outlet for anger and stress." Or, "Painting is her artistic outlet." A "retail outlet" is simply a store: "The city wants to encourage more retail outlets to open in the Wilshire neighborhood." Finally, an "outlet mall" is a group of stores that sell clothing and other items at lower-than-usual prices: "At the outlet mall, we can buy clothes for about 40 to 50% of what they sell for at the regular shopping mall." |
