ESLPod_0575_WE_0824 Being an Early or Late Riser The word "stoop," in this podcast, means the area outside the front door of some homes in the city, usually at the top of several steps leading to the sidewalk: "In the past, neighbors used to sit on their stoop in the evening, talking to each other until it got dark." A "stoop" is also a way of walking with poor posture, when one's shoulders bend forward: "Why does Ulysses always walk with a stoop?" The phrase "to stoop down" means to bend one's upper body downward, usually so that one can go under something or reach down to get something: "Brady is really tall, so he has to stoop down to go through most doorways." Finally, the phrase "to stoop to (something)" means to do something wrong or immoral when one would not normally do it: "Piper never thought she'd stoop to stealing food, but her children were hungry and she was desperate."
