1 witch: According to legends, a "witch" is a woman who flies around on a broomstick, has a black cat and wears a pointed black hat. They often capture children or put evil spells on people. They are depicted in many fairy tales as evil characters, who are jealous of the beautiful princess. Note that the term "witch" can be used idiomatically to describe a particularly mean or wicked woman. In this broadcast, Brent suggests that Halloween is a special day for "witches" like Moira.
2 pumpkin: A "pumpkin" is a large, round, orange vegetable. During Halloween, children like to make scary "lanterns" out of pumpkins. Pumpkins also make delicious soups and pies. In the dialogue, Moira says that at Halloween "People carve faces into pumpkins to frighten off evil spirits". To "carve" is to cut or shape an object, usually with a sharp, pointed instrument. Example: I carved our initials and a heart into the old tree.
3 hilarious: The term "hilarious" describes something extremely funny or amusing. In this broadcast, Moira tells Brent that his story about dressing up as a hot dog is "hilarious". Note that the term "hilarious" is commonly used in English speaking countries both ironically and in the pure sense of the word.
