Phrase | cracked |
Text | The word "cracked," in this podcast, means with small lines running through the surface of something where pieces are separating, usually because something is breaking: "This old vase is a little bit cracked, but it's still beautiful." If a voice "cracks," it sounds different than usual, usually because one is sick or has used one's voice too much, or because a young boy is going through puberty: "Carl is only 11 years old, but his voice has already started to crack." Finally, the phrase "to crack up" means to laugh very loudly, almost uncontrollably: "Adam told a really funny joke that made us all crack up." |
