使い方のコツ
"Flood" can describe something serious, like a disaster, or something neutral and even positive, like "a flood of compliments." Other natural collocations include "a flood of tears" (crying a lot), "a flood of applications," and "flood the market" (too many products at once). A common mistake is using "flood" for a small amount of water indoors—English usually prefers "leak" or "the sink overflowed" for that, keeping "flood" for large-scale water damage or overwhelming amounts of something else.
