Phrase cast
Text The word "cast," in this podcast, means a piece of plaster (a heavy, hard, white material) that is put around a part of one's body so that it cannot move while a broken bone is healing: "He has to wear a cast that goes all the way from his knee down to his toes." A "cast" is also the group of actors who are in a play, TV show, or movie: "Are there any famous actors in the cast?" In a factory, a "cast" is the shape that hot, liquid plastic or metal is poured into so that it has that same shape when it cools: "This plastic toy is made by using three separate casts." Finally, when talking about fishing, a "cast" is the way that a line is thrown into the water to catch a fish: "Jeremiah made a great cast and caught a fish right away."
