| Phrase | pile |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "pile" means a stack, or a group of things that are put on top of each other without very much order or care: "Could you please put that pile of newspapers in the recycling bin?" The phrase "a pile of (something)" means a lot of something: "We have a pile of reports that are due at the end of each quarter." The phrase "at the bottom of the pile" describes the least important thing, or the thing with the lowest priority: "Henrietta has a lot of things to do, and cleaning the house is at the bottom of the pile." Finally, when talking about carpet or rugs, "pile" refers to the length of the threads on the top surface: "I love the way this carpet pile feels when I walk on it barefoot!" |
