| Phrase | to stretch |
| Text | In this podcast, the verb "to stretch" means to move one's body parts in unusual ways, pushing them as far as they will go in a certain direction to make the muscles work and to become more flexible: "Taking a yoga class is a great way to learn how to stretch." The phrase "to stretch (one's) legs" means to take a short walk, especially after one has been seated for a long period of time: "It isn't good to sit in front of the computer for hours at a time. Why don't we take a break and stretch our legs?" Finally, the phrase "to stretch the truth" means to exaggerate or to say something that isn't entirely true: "Raymond was stretching the truth when he said that he was an expert skier. The truth is, he has skied only three times." |
