Phrase | just in case |
Text | In this podcast, the phrase "just in case" means as a precaution, or doing something as a way to be prepared for what might happen: "They're saving their money just in case they have unexpected medical expenses." The phrase "just so" means with everything exactly as one wants it, organized and tidy: "He leaves everything in his office just so before going home in the evening." The phrase "just my luck" is used to show that one is not surprised by something bad that has happened, because one usually has bad luck: "It's just my luck that it's raining on the day of my outdoor party." Finally, the phrase "might just as well" is used to suggest doing something because there is no reason to do something else: "The game was canceled, so we might just as well go home." |
