Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “make a stand“ and its meaning is “to publicly express one’s firm opinion or position, (in support of /opposition to something); assert, claim, confront, challenge”.
Example Sentence: At the end of the The Way of Water, the protagonist (hero) awakens to the idea that the ocean has become his home: “This is our home, this is our fortress. This is where we make our stand.” If aliens were to visit Earth, they would probably name it Ocean, after the habitat (natural environment) that covers most of its surface. Could the second Avatar film help enable us to make our stand?
