| Phrase | gravel |
| Text | The word "gravel," in this podcast, means small rocks, especially for unpaved walkways: "They didn't have enough money to pave their driveway, so they decided to put down gravel instead." Or, "Doesn't it hurt your feet to walk barefoot over that sharp gravel?" A "gravel pit" is a place where gravel is dug out of the ground, typically so that it can be sold: "The environmentalists dislike the idea of having a gravel pit in a wilderness area so close to the river." Finally, a similar, but different word, "gavel," is a small hammer used by a judge in a court of law: "The judge hit her gavel against the desk to try to get the attention of everyone in the courtroom." |
