Phrase cheese
Text The word "cheese," in this podcast, means a solid food made from milk, especially one that has been aged (left to sit for a period of time): "Mozzarella, parmesan, and ricotta cheese are common in Italian cuisine." The word "cheesy" means with a lot of cheese: "This pizza is really cheesy!" Informally, "cheesy" means insincere and unpleasant: "He nervously told cheesy jokes, trying to keep people entertained as they waited." And "cheesy" can also describe something that has poor quality and is inexpensive: "Why did those actors agree to be part of such a cheesy film?" Finally, people often say the word "cheese" immediately before they are photographed, because it makes their mouth form a smile: "The photographer asked the children to look at the camera and say 'cheese.'"
