| Text | In this podcast, the word "tab" means the area in which one of several websites opens within a single browser window: "Kiran always has at least three tabs open at once: one for email, one for the news, and one for his favorite sports team." A "tab" is also the amount of money that one owes, especially at a restaurant or bar: "I don't have enough cash to pay you today, so can you please put this on my tab?" The phrase "to pick up the tab" means to pay for something, especially something that someone else has used: "Bill picked up the tab for the morning coffee for all of his employees." Finally, a "tab" can be the small metal ring that has to be lifted up to open a can of soda or another kind of can: "Cheryl broke her nail while lifting the tab on her soda." |
