Dear teachers,
Would you be kind enough to tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentences?
He got a cushy job in a large company.
cushy = not requiring strong efforts; easy
The Major knew that in battle the slightly wounded would far outnumber other casualties—which we know now is true enough. "A nice cushy wound is a free ticket to the hospital."
'Just a "cushy" wound, that will bring him home on a three months' leave, and give her the bore of nursing him.' '
cushy wound = graze
Yes, it was a cushy upbringing, but I appreciated it, every bit of it.
cushy upbringing = education in luxury
Thank you for your efforts.
Regards,
V.
