| Phrase | slight |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "slight" means a minor insult, usually caused by someone not showing another person enough respect: "Bonnie is very sensitive and if anyone makes a suggestion for improvement, she takes it as a slight against her ability to do her job well." As an adjective, the word "slight" means a small amount of something: "The pain medication offered only slight relief." Or, "We found a slight problem in the software, but our team will be able to find a solution by the end of the week." Finally, the word "slight" can describe someone who is thin, small, and delicate: "The baby was born three months early, and she was so slight it was hard to believe she would survive." |
