Episode Title | To Forgive and Forget |
Phrase | spat |
Text | In this podcast, a "spat" is an unimportant disagreement or fight that doesn't last for very long: "When their spats started becoming more frequent and more serious, they decided to start seeing a marriage counselor." The verb "to spat" can mean to fall down like rain: "Rain started to spat against the windshield, and then it became hail." Finally, the word "spat" is also the past tense of "to spit," which means to send a small amount of liquid out of one's mouth very quickly: "The children spat watermelon seeds out of their mouth to see who could spit the farthest." Or, "Look! There's a stain wherever you spat tobacco juice on the floor." |
