| Text | The word "shape," in this podcast, is a measure of one's well-being and physical health and performance: "At the end of the season, those soccer players were in the best shape of their life." The phrase "to whip/kick/get (someone) into shape" means to make someone do something much better: "These new employees need someone to whip them into shape before their 90-day performance evaluation." The phrase "in no shape to do (something)" means physically and/or mentally unprepared and unqualified to do something: "After working an 80-hour week, Herbert was in no shape to drive up to Houston by himself." Finally, the phrase "to take shape" means to become clearer and more defined: "Their wedding plans are finally starting to take shape." |
