| Phrase | up in the air |
| Text | The phrase "up in the air," in this podcast, means unresolved, still unknown, and not yet decided: "Our ability to buy a home is still up in the air. It depends whether the bank will give us a mortgage loan." The phrase "to put on airs" is a slightly old-fashioned phrase meaning to behave as if one is more important than one really is: "Ever since Hank got that promotion, he has been putting on airs." The phrase "to be walking on air" means to be very happy: "Ever since Brittany met her new boyfriend, she has been walking on air." Finally, the phrase "to clear the air" means to do something to end an argument or unpleasant situation so that people can think clearly and return to normal: "Let's tell each other what we really think and clear the air, so we can move ahead." |
