Phrase stretch
Text In this podcast, the word "stretch" means a particular section of a road between two points: "The children believe that this stretch of road is haunted and ghosts live here." A "stretch" can also refer to a period of time without interruption: "Her teenage son can sleep for 14-hour stretches!" The phrase "by any stretch (of the imagination)" is used to emphasize the truth of something negative that one has just said: "Those fashion models aren't overweight by any stretch of the imagination." The phrases "the final stretch" and "the home stretch" refer to the last part of a project or activity: "We're in the home stretch now. All we have to do is write the conclusion and then we'll be done with this report."
