| Phrase | to coast |
| Text | The verb "to coast," in this podcast, means to do something very well without even trying, or to succeed or excel easily: "It's clear that you're coasting through the class. Why don't you take something more challenging?" The verb "to coast" can also mean to ride a bicycle downhill without pedaling, letting gravity move one forward: "After a long, steady, upward bike ride, we coasted down the eastern side of the mountain. The verb can also be used to talk about driving a car without using the accelerator (gas pedal): "You could save some money on gas by coasting down these hills." Finally, as a noun, the "coast" is the land next to the ocean: "They went to the coast last weekend to enjoy some time by the sea." |
