| Text | The phrase "spoken like," in this podcast, is a phrase used to characterize one's words, often in a humorous way: "She can barely cook, but she stated that truffle oil is far superior to olive oil. Spoken like a gourmet chef!" The phrase "well-spoken" means eloquent and speaking correctly and clearly: "Sheila is very well-spoken, and is always able to share her ideas clearly with others." The phrase "soft-spoken" means having a quiet, soft, and pleasant voice: "Carl is so soft-spoken that sometimes it's difficult to hear him in a noisy room." Finally, the phrase "to be spoken for" means to be reserved or to not be available: "Sorry, this seat is spoken for." Or, "That last piece of cake is spoken for." |
