As for who pays the most and how much we make on average, well let me be one to let the cat out of the bag. It has been told that we make a lot of money in a short amount of time. That may be so in some cases, but consider the fact that we also have to account for the down times too.
portend verb [T]. âº to be a âsign that something âbad is âlikely to âhappen in the âfuture: It was a âdeeply âsuperstitious âcountry, where âearthquakes were âcommonly âbelieved to portend the end of âdynasties.
While you might love crows, your father will shudder when he sees them if he superstitiously believes they're a portent â a sign or warning â of death. A portent is an omen of something momentous, which can be good, but is more often negative. You can use portent to mean a magical foretelling or symbol, but you can also use it to talk about something real, the way you could describe big, dark storm clouds as a portent of a thunderstorm.
