| Phrase | cold case |
| Text | The phrase "cold case," in this podcast, means a criminal investigation that has not been solved and will no longer be actively investigated until more information becomes available: "Periodically, the bureau assigns an investigator to review cold cases before filing them away." The phrase "basket case" is an informal phrase that refers to a person who is crazy: "Spending too much time alone can turn anyone into a basket case." The words "uppercase" and "lowercase" describe capital and non-capital words: "I hate it when people write in uppercase (LIKE THIS) because it seems like they're shouting." Finally, a "pencil case" is a small box or pouch used to carry pencils, pens, and erasers: "Each student has to bring a folder, paper, and a pencil case on the first day of school." |
