| Phrase | timer |
| Text | The word "timer," in this podcast, means a device that turns something on or off at a particular time each day: "Whenever they travel, they connect their lights to a timer to make it seem like they're at home." A "timer" is also a device that allows a particular amount of time to pass and then makes a loud noise: "Let's put these cookies in the oven and then set the timer for 12 minutes so we remember to take them out before they burn." A "part-timer" or "full-timer" is someone who works part time (less than 40 hours per week) or full time (40 or more hours per week): "We don't have enough full-time employees, so we'll hire a few part-time ones to help during the holiday months." Finally, an "old timer" has lived somewhere for a long time and knows a lot about it: "The old timers remember the flood of 1947." |
