| Phrase | star |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "star" means one of many small points of light in the nighttime sky, actually a very large ball of burning gas: "Is that point of light a star or a planet?" A "star" is also the actor or actress who has the most important role in a play or movie: "Ever since Craig was chosen as the star of the school play, he has had too high of an opinion of himself." A "star" is also a famous celebrity, usually an actor or musician: "Were any famous Hollywood stars at the party?" Finally, the phrase "to see stars" means to see bright points of light when one closes one's eyes, usually after one has been hit on the head: "The patient is complaining that she has been seeing stars and feeling nauseous ever since the car accident." |
