Text | The verb "to rush," in this podcast, means to hurry, do something very quickly, or move toward something very quickly: "The shoppers rushed into the store for the big sale." The phrase "to rush things" means to make a decision too quickly, without taking enough time to think about it: "Don't you think you're rushing things by getting married after you've dated for only one month?" A "rush" is also an intense feeling of excitement: "She gets a rush from skiing quickly down steep mountains." Finally, a "rush" is a big party at American universities where students try to get accepted into large social organizations called fraternities (for men) and sororities (for women): "Becca participated in rush last year and now she's a member of Gamma Delta Delta." |
