Phrase | rash |
Text | The word "rash," in this podcast, means hasty and rushed, without considering the potentially bad consequences of one's actions or words: "Years ago, Helen made a rash decision to lend her brother money to buy a car, but she regrets it because he has never paid her back." When talking about skin, a "rash" is a lot of small red spots or similar marks that appear on the skin, often as a result of a disease or as a result of contacting a material that irritates the skin: "Don't touch the poison oak, or you might get a rash." Or, "Don't you think you should get a doctor to look at that rash on your back?" Finally, the phrase "a rash of (something)" refers to may unpleasant events that happen over a short period of time: "Doctors were surprised by the recent rash of respiratory illnesses in young children in the past year." |
