heading

When used as a noun for a title, it refers to the text at the top of a section. It is different from a 'header', which usually repeats on every page of a document. When used as a verb meaning 'to move', it is almost always followed by a direction or a destination (e.g., "heading north" or "heading home").

💬Trò chuyện

🎬Tuesday afternoon, Karen is frantically organizing a school fundraiser while Eleanor is confused about her location.

Eleanor Smith

KAREN I AM LOST. WHICH WAY AM I HEADING??

Karen Smith

Just use the GPS, Eleanor. I can't deal with this right now.

💡

The conversation highlights the tension between a stressed daughter-in-law and her tech-challenged mother-in-law. The word 'heading' is used here in its intransitive verb sense (proceeding in a direction). Karen's response 'I can't deal with this' is a common idiomatic expression meaning she lacks the emotional capacity or patience to handle the situation.
