| Text | The word "perfectly," in this podcast, is used to emphasize the word that follows: "We had a perfectly delightful afternoon at the park."

The phrase "perfect timing" describes something that happened exactly when one wanted it to: "Thanks for coming. We were just about to call you. Perfect timing!" The phrase "picture perfect" describes something that appears exactly as one wanted it to or as it should: "Their wedding was picture perfect in every way."
