Episode Title | Making Quick and Slow Decisions |
Phrase | rash |
Text | The word "rash," in this podcast, means done or decided very quickly, often so quickly that a mistake is made: "If we make a rash decision to sell our business, we'll probably regret it later." A "rash" is also a group of small red marks on one's skin, especially if they are itchy: "Have you ever gotten a rash from touching poison oak?" Or, "Your baby will probably get diaper rash if you don't start changing his diaper more frequently." Finally, the phrase "a rash of (something)" refers to a large number of things that happen in a short period of time, especially if they are negative, unwanted things: "Police are concerned about the recent rash of violent attacks in the downtown area." |
