Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Box"

A: A "stash box" is a box (or any container) where you stash or store things that you don't want someone else to find. Basically to "stash" something means to hide it.

For example, if you're saving money that you don't want your husband to know about, and you know that your husband doesn't like cookies, you could stash your money in the cookie jar. And you could call the cookie jar a "stash box".

Note: The British call a cookie jar a "biscuit barrel" or a "biscuit tin".

A: It means that the more generous you are, the better! It is not an insult or calling you stingy. It just means you can always be generous.

A: It means that someone is trying to limit what is being done. If you're running around in a field, then someone puts a box over you, it is very limiting. Just imagine that.

A: Thinking, "outside of the box" usually means that you are thinking beyond what most people do.

Example: Your job wants ideas for a new sales pitch, but everyone's ideas are very similar. Then, someone comes up with an idea completely different than everyone else. That person is thinking outside of the norm, or "outside of the box"
