| Phrase | pill |
| Text | A "pill bottle," in this podcast, is a small bottle with a tight-fitting lid, used to hold medicine: "Every Saturday evening, Hazel opens all her pill bottles and takes out the pills she'll need to take during the coming week." Although it is a little old-fashioned, the phrase "to be a pill" means to misbehave and be annoying: "Their son can be such a pill when he's tired and hungry!" Finally, the phrase "a bitter pill to swallow" describes something that is very unpleasant or unfortunate: "Selling their home for less than they bought it for was a bitter pill to swallow." |
