Take for example

Definition

"Take for examples" are words or phrases used when you say some fluff or jargon and want to rub it on the listener’s face that you know this word. So you give simple words or phrases of the same meaning or non-fluffs with context. One can argue that they could have started with the simple words with the context and they are completely right

Example

Language is pretty preternatural. Take for example, the word preternatural needn't be used in the previous sentence. I could have just said ‘weird’.
