Episode Title | Outsourcing Operations |
Phrase | overhead |
Text | The word "overhead" in this podcast means the money used to operate a business: "If we don't reduce our overhead, we'll need to fire at least 10 employees." The word "overhead" can also be used as an adjective to mean something that is above your head: "This room is too dark. We need to install some overhead lights so visitors can see the displays better." Or, "While I was sitting on the beach, a really big bird flew overhead and made a lot of noise." In an airplane, the storage space where passengers put their bags above their seats are called the "overhead compartment": "I was the last passenger to get on the plane and there was no more room in the overhead compartment for my briefcase." |
