ambiguous phrase - what are possible interpretations of it?
Hi,
There is a standalone phrase, Make a record.
Taken out of context.
The only interpretation that I am aware of is this:
"to make a record" = "to cut a record" = "to record a song (in a studio)"? (*)
I wonder if "to make a record" can also mean something different from (*)?
Thank you!

MUSCOVITE The only interpretation that I am aware of is this:"to make a record" = "to cut a record" = "to record a song (in a studio)"? (*) Same here. It's not quite right if we take "record" to mean the best score or best time in an athletic event.

- (*) Same here.
- It's not quite right if we take "record" to mean the best score or best time in an athletic event.
- That's usually "Establish a record" or "Break a record".
- Still, it might mean that.
