| Phrase | to swipe |
| Text | In this podcast, the verb "to swipe" means to move a debit or credit card through the narrow opening in a machine so that it can be read electronically: "Too many people swipe their cards to buy things without really understanding that they'll have to pay for it later. Or, "Just swipe your ID card and the door will open." The verb "to swipe" also means to steal or take: "Did you see how that guy just swiped a pack of cigarettes?" Or, "Who swiped the last piece of cake that was in the fridge?" Finally, sometimes the verb "to swipe at" means to hit something gently: "Why do cats like to swipe at toys like that?" Or, "What did you do when Lyle swiped at you like that?" |
