Phrase | to be singled out |
Text | The phrase "to be singled out," in this podcast, means to be treated in a way that is different from the way everyone else is treated, especially if it's something one doesn't like: "Almost all the kids were misbehaving, but Michael was singled out for punishment, because he is the oldest and should have known better." The phrase "to be single" means to be unmarried: "Are you single, married, widowed, or divorced?" Finally, the word "singles" can be used to refer to all people who are not married: "This dance club is very popular among singles in their 20s." |
