| Phrase | bombed |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "bombed" means drunk or under the influence of alcohol: "There was so much alcohol at the party that almost everyone got bombed." Normally a "bomb" is a weapon that is dropped from the air and explodes when it hits something: "They are dropping bombs on the government buildings." The phrase "to be a bomb" means to go very badly, or to be disappointing or not successful: "The ballet was such a bomb that almost all the audience members left before it was finished." Finally, the phrase "to be the bomb" is a very informal way to say that something is very good, new, interesting, and exciting: "That dance club is the bomb! We love going there on Friday nights." |
