| Phrase | in the least |
| Text | In this podcast, the phrase "in the least" means even a little bit or to any extent: "If he cared about his health in the least, he'd start exercising and stop eating so much junk food." The phrase "not in the least" means not at all: "I asked Pepe if he was mad, but he smiled and said, 'Not in the least.'" The phrase "the least (one) could do" describes something simple that a person could and should have done in order to be polite, although that person could actually do much more: "You've been such a good friend to me! Helping you move is the least I could do." Finally, the phrase "last but not least" is used when introducing the last item in a list to show that it is important: "I want to thank my agent, my producer, and last but not least, my wife." |
