Episode Title | Listening to the Radio |
Phrase | static |
Text | In this podcast, the word "static" means the noise that one hears on a radio or TV program but that isn't part of the program: "During a storm, radio stations have more static than they usually do." The word "static" also means something that doesn't move or change: "Sales are static - they're the same now as they were one year ago. What can we do to start selling more of our product?" Or, "The dancers were so static on the stage the audience began to wonder when the dancing would begin." "Static" also refers to "static electricity," which is the electricity that is made when two things rub together quickly: "Whenever I wear these shoes and walk on the carpet, I always get shocked by static when I touch anything made of metal." |
