| Phrase | briefs |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "briefs" means underwear that is worn around a man's waist, over his bottom, and between his legs that is tight and does not cover any part of his thigh: "I wouldn't ever want to wear briefs and be photographed for an advertisement. How embarrassing!" The word "brief" is also a statement and/or summary used in legal cases: "Who's writing the brief for the Supreme Court's newest legal case?" The word "brief" or "briefing" can be a short report about something: "Have you had time to read the brief about last month's sales?" Finally, the phrase "in brief," means using as few words as possible: "It's a long story, but in brief, I can say that we were successful." |
