Episode Title | Eating Spoiled Food |
Phrase | sour |
Text | In this podcast, the word "sour" means for milk or milk-related products to have a spoiled, unpleasant taste or smell: "This cake tastes horrible. Did you make it with sour milk?" The word "sour" is usually used to talk about acidic foods, like lemons and limes: "The children really like sour, lemon-flavored candies." The phrase "sour grapes" is used to talk about someone who pretends not to like something, even though he or she really would like to have it or do it: "Franklin said bad things about the car his brother bought, but it was really a case of sour grapes, because he would have bought the same car if he'd had enough money." Finally, if something "turns sour," it becomes less pleasant: "She and her husband used to have a great relationship, but their marriage lately has turned sour." |
