| Episode Title | Feeding a Picky Eater |
| Phrase | course |
| Text | The word "course," in this podcast, means one of several things eaten in order during a meal, usually soup or salad, an entrée, and dessert: "For the first course, we could choose between chicken-noodle soup and tomato soup." The phrase "of course" is used when one is sharing information that is understood and will not be surprising: "Of course, we should buy tickets early just in case they sell out." The phrase "par for the course" refers to something one would expect to happen, especially when it is a bad or unpleasant thing: "Melissa behaved terribly at the family reunion, which was par for the course, considering her bad feelings about most family members." The phrase "in due course" means in the future at an appropriate time: "We'll talk about the possibility of a raise in due course." |
