| Phrase | last resort |
| Text | In this podcast, the phrase "last resort" means one's last option for action, after everything else has failed, especially when referring to something that one would prefer not to do: "Hopefully, I'll find a job soon, but if not, I can always move back into my parents' home as a last resort." The phrase "to resort to (something)" means to do, use, or depend on something because no other options are available: "Brenda never dreamed they would have to resort to looking for food in garbage cans, but they were desperate." Finally, a "resort" is a place where many people go on vacation, often with a large, fancy hotel and optional luxuries: "They spent last weekend at a ski resort." Or, "This beach resort has great rooms with beautiful views of the ocean." |
