Phrase | tap |
Text | The word "tap," in this podcast, means water from a sink, not from a bottle: "If your child burns her finger, hold it under cold tap water for a few minutes." "Tap dancing" refers to a style of dance where the dancers wear shoes with pieces of metal on the bottom so that they make a loud sound each time their foot touches the ground: "All that tap dancing is driving me crazy! Can't you practice with your shoes off?" "Taps" is a well-known song performed by a bugle (a horn instrument) at funerals and sometimes at the end of the day in the military: "He didn't cry at his father's funeral until they started playing Taps." Finally, a "tap" can be a light touch, usually on the shoulder, to get someone's attention: "She felt a tap on her shoulder and turned her head." |
