| Text | The phrase "hot tip," in this podcast, means exciting and secret information that will be beneficial, or important information that is not known to other people: "Here's a hot tip: If you click the gold star in the video game, you'll get 500 bonus points!" A "tip" is normally the pointed end of something: "During the presentation, he used the tip of his pencil to point to the graphic as he explained the chart." Finally, the phrase "on the tip of (one's) tongue" describes being unable to produce a name or the word for something, because one has forgotten it: "Sheila got really nervous during her Italian exam and felt like the words were on the tip of her tongue, but she wasn't able to say them." |
