| Phrase | to sue |
| Text | The verb "to sue," in this podcast, means to take someone to court and legally demand money from him or her because one believes one has been hurt by something that he or she has done: "Harvey is going to sue his former employer for firing him unfairly." The phrase "to sue for damages" emphasizes that one is taking someone to court in order to receive money: "I know you're upset that your home was destroyed, but you can't sue the city for damages just because it wasn't able to warn you a hurricane was coming." Finally, the phrase "to sue for libel" means to take someone to court and demand money because that person wrote things that were untrue about oneself: "How can those tabloid newspapers print those kinds of stories? You'd think the celebrities would sue them for libel." |
