| Text | In this podcast, the word "personal" means relating to a single person and not needing to be shared with other people: "Our company keeps employees' personal information in a locked office." The phrase "to get personal" means to say something that is very hurtful and unkind to or about a person: "Sometimes the candidates who want to become president get personal and attack each other's personal lives or their families." The phrase "it's nothing personal" is used when one has to do or say something but wants the other person to know that it is not because of the other person: "The woman looked angry when I asked her how old she was, so I told her, 'It's nothing personal' and explained that we have to ask all our patients how old they are. |
