| Phrase | pan |
| Text | The word "pan," in this podcast, means a metal object with a round bottom, short sides, and one long handle, used to cook food on a stove: "Please sauté the onions and garlic in a pan." The phrase "a flash in the pan" describes something that becomes successful or popular very quickly, but that does not last for long and that probably will not be successful or popular again: "The band had a really popular song, but it was a flash in the pan and none of their other songs ever became well known." Finally, the phrase "to pan out" means for something to become successful or to lead to something good: "Joanna will be interviewing for a job at two different companies and hopes that at least one will pan out." |
