Phrase tie
Text The word "tie," in this podcast, means a moment when two teams or competitors have the same number of points, so that there is not a winner or loser: "There was a tie between two students, so the school is going to vote for its class president again." A "tie" is also a long, colored piece of fabric that men wear around their necks so that it hangs in front of their shirts: "Do you think this shirt and suit would look better with a blue tie or a red tie?" A "tie" is often a connection between people, ideas, or places: "They have close ties with their cousins in Luxembourg." Finally, a "tie" can be a small piece of string, rope, plastic, or wire that is used to close a bag: "The tie on this bag is really tight and I can't open it."
