In Indiana tRump endorsed state candidates win big in state elections..state level primaries are not an indicator of national popularity.. democrats should have an opportunity to flip those..
When will the outrageously ridiculous APS, charities, private schools, mining resources & CEO packages be reduced? Only then do we have a true indicator that everyone is suffering at the appropriate levels.
I'm sorry, did the graph you chose to use of a single indicator not really reflect broader economic trends across the period?

The needle or dial on such a meter.
“It's all just about feeding their fucking own bullshit feelings of moral superiority. It pisses me the fuck off how these people love to equate us to offenders and actual scum of the earth over fictional attractions that shouldn't be an indicator if we are a terrible person.”

A meter or gauge.
Indicator means: A meter or gauge.. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up. For most families this word will pass by without incident; it is more a vocabulary curiosity than a parenting concern.
indicator means: A meter or gauge.. Register: neutral, standard English. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself. A formal-English equivalent (a synonym or descriptive phrase) is usually safer in writing. When in doubt, paraphrase rather than reuse the slang form.
