| Phrase | retires |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "retire" means to stop working: "The president of the company held a big meeting to announce that she would retire at the end of the month." This is the way the word is generally used. But the word can mean something else. "To retire" is a formal way to say to go to bed or to go to sleep: "I retired at 2 a.m. last night, right after the last party guest left." We can also retire things, or stop using them because they have a special meaning, usually in sports: "When Joe DiMaggio retired from baseball, they retired his number and no player for the Yankees will ever have the number 5 again." |
