| Phrase | wise |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "wise" means intelligent, or reflecting knowledge and judgment based on one's vast experience: "You were very wise to start saving for retirement at such a young age." The phrase "to be none the wiser" means for someone to not discover a secret: "They planned a huge surprise party for Betty's birthday, but she was none the wiser and was very surprised." The phrase "to be wise to (something)" means to be aware of someone's dishonest actions and not be fooled: "You can't keep lying to your girlfriend. She's wise to you." Finally, a "wise guy" is an annoying person who pretends to know everything: "Geraldo is such a wise guy! He thinks he knows everything about our company, even though he started working here just a few weeks ago." |
