In a factory, there might be a machine that is slower than the rest of the machines on the production line. The full story could be that it is an older model, not as technologically advanced as the others. It could also be due to improper maintenance. Workers might have to constantly adjust it and this slows down the overall production process, which is the full story of why it is slower than the rest.
Sure. A story about a student in a class who is slower than the rest at learning a new language. The full story could involve how the student struggles with grammar, pronunciation while the other students seem to pick it up quickly. Maybe the student has a learning disability or just needs more practice time.
It could mean a story about something or someone that is slower compared to the others. For example, it might be about a runner who is slower than the rest of the competitors in a race. Or it could refer to a process that is slower than other similar processes.
Take a story about a family moving to a new city. The first part is about packing and leaving their old home. The rest of the story involves settling in the new place. The 'best of the rest of the story' could be when they finally make new friends and start to feel at home. They have faced difficulties like finding a good school for the kids, getting used to the new neighborhood, and when they overcome all these and start to really enjoy their new life, that's the best part of the remaining story.
Sure. If you were telling a story about how you found a lost dog. You could say how you first heard the dog barking, then how you searched for it, and finally when you found it and reunited it with its owner. At the end, you could say 'and that is the rest of the story'.
The story of the development of life on Earth could be an example. It's vaster than any empire as it spans billions of years and involves countless species evolving across the entire planet. It's also slow in that it took a very long time for life to progress from single - celled organisms to complex multicellular forms and then to intelligent beings like humans.
Sure. A 'full cover story' could be one about a major political scandal. For instance, if a politician is caught in a corruption case. The cover story would detail how the scandal was uncovered, who was involved, the evidence against the politician, and the potential consequences for the political system.
Let's consider the phrase in the context of a story being full of bravado. An example could be someone saying 'I fought off ten guys all by myself without breaking a sweat'. This kind of story where someone is boasting and perhaps stretching the truth could be what is meant by a 'full of cock story'. But again, this is just one way of looking at this rather unclear phrase.
I'm reluctant to give an example for such a phrase as it might have vulgar connotations. However, if we consider 'dick' as a symbol of arrogance (again, stretching the non - vulgar interpretation), a story could be about a character who is full of himself, constantly showing off and being over - confident. But this is really just a forced interpretation to avoid the vulgar aspect of the phrase.
Sure. Let's say someone claims they ran a marathon in an hour. Given that the world record for a marathon is much longer than that, this is likely a 'full of cock story'. They are probably just trying to show off or get attention by making up such an unbelievable claim.
Sure. In a love story of deception, one partner might deceive the other about their past relationships. They hide the fact that they have a history of being unfaithful. They act as if they are completely innocent and trustworthy. But later, when the truth surfaces, it shatters the trust in the relationship.
Take the case of Erin Brockovich. She was a legal clerk who noticed that a utility company in her town was contaminating the local water supply with a toxic chemical. She started investigating and found evidence of widespread illness in the community due to the contamination. Brockovich then fought hard to expose the company's actions. She worked with lawyers and eventually won a large settlement for the affected residents. Her story shows how a whistleblower can make a big difference in protecting the health and rights of a community.
