Episode Title | Being Genuine and False |
Phrase | upfront |
Text | The word "upfront," in this podcast, means direct, straightforward, and honest, without trying to hide anything: "If you don't like something about my writing style, please be upfront and tell me, so that I can try to change it." When talking about billing or payments, "upfront" means ahead of time, or before goods or services are received: "Marty asks his clients to pay 40% of the total cost upfront before he begins a project, with the other 60% payable upon completion." As two words, "up front" can mean ahead of someone else, or near the front of a room: "The best students tend to sit up front in the classroom." Or, "We were sitting up front, very close to the movie screen." |
