Phrase to sink
Text The verb "to sink," in this podcast, means for a floating object to fill with water so that it no longer floats, and instead falls to the bottom of the water: "The heavy rain, strong winds, and tall waves caused several small boats to sink." The phrase "a sinking feeling" describes a sad or uncomfortable feeling that one has upon realizing that something bad will happen: "I have a sinking feeling that someone is going to get hurt on this hike." The phrase "to sink so low" means to do something that is very unfair, bad, and selfish: "We never thought he would sink so low as to steal money from his own daughter." Finally, as a noun, a "sink" is the ceramic or metal container in a kitchen or bathroom that water falls into, usually used for washing dishes or one's hands: "We need to wash the dirty dishes in the sink before going to bed."
