| Phrase | on the side |
| Text | The phrase "on the side," in this podcast, means something that is in addition to one's regular job: "Gisele works in a bakery during the day, and sells cakes to her friends on the side." The phrase "on the side" can also refer to a food that is ordered and served separately: "Waiter, I'd like a salad, but please put the dressing on the side." To "side with someone" is to support someone in an argument: "The judge sided with the mother and said that the child should live with her." Finally, to have something "on one's side" means to have an advantage: "The politician has a lot of money on his side, so he may get elected senator even though he isn't very popular." |
