Question

ESLPod_0643_WE_0960 Liberal and Conservative News The word "rag," in this podcast, means a poor-quality, unimportant newspaper: "Why do you waste your time reading that rag when you can find much better information online?" A "rag" is also a small piece of cloth that has been used many times, normally used for cleaning: "Freddie uses his old t-shirts as rags for dusting and polishing." If someone's clothes are "in rags," they are in very poor condition with many tears and holes: "Chirico's favorite shirt is in rags, but he keeps wearing it because he likes the color." Finally, the phrase "from rags to riches" describes someone who is born into a very poor family but becomes very successful and rich: "She was born in a poor village but became a millionaire by the time she was 40 - an amazing rags-to-riches story!"
