Chew audio micro-course (transcript)

Three short podcasts about “Chew”. Listen with the interactive player.

Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning

Narrator: Today's word is Chew — verb, pronounced /tʃuː/, with the stress on chew.

Narrator: To chew is to bite and crush food with your teeth so it becomes soft enough to swallow.

Narrator: In plain English, it means using your teeth to break down solid items in your mouth.

Narrator: It comes from the Old English word ceowan, which has Germanic roots meaning to gnaw or eat.

Narrator: A common collocation is chew the fat, which describes the act of engaging in informal, lengthy conversation.

Narrator: It differs from gnaw, as gnaw implies a persistent, wearing down of a hard object rather than masticating food for ingestion.

Narrator: In a figurative sense, you might chew over an idea, meaning to think about something carefully for a long period.

Narrator: Fields like nutrition, dentistry, and even culinary arts rely on understanding the mechanics of this essential action.

Narrator: So remember: chewing is the vital first step of digestion that prepares your sustenance for the journey ahead.
