Phrase | slight |
Text | The word "slight," in this podcast, means very small, minor, and unimportant: "The baby has a slight fever, but the doctor said not to take her to see him until it reaches 104." Or, "Please let us know if there's even the slightest possibility you might be able to come to our home for Thanksgiving." The word "slight" can also describe someone who is very thin and possibly unhealthy: "Janik is a very slight boy, even though his parents are always trying to feed him more." The phrase "to not have the slightest idea" means to not be aware of something at all: "I've known them for quite a while, but I didn't have the slightest idea they were brothers! They don't look anything alike." |
