Text | The verb "to pack," in this podcast, means to put something into a large container, suitcase, box, or envelope and then close it, usually to send it somewhere: "When moving, it's a good idea to wrap glasses in newspaper before packing them into a box." If something is "jam-packed," it is as full as it can be, or it has as many things or people as possible: "The stadium was jam-packed for the concert." A "packrat" is a person who has a lot of unnecessary things and cannot or does not want to throw them away: "You're such a packrat! I can't believe you have clothes that you haven't worn in more than 20 years." Finally, a "pack animal" is a large animal like or horse or a donkey that is used to carry heavy things: "Two pack animals carried our things when we walked into the Grand Canyon." |
