Phrase | paddle |
Text | In this podcast, the word "paddle" means a flat round or square piece of wood or plastic with a handle, held in the air with one's hand, usually marked with a large number so that one can place a bid at an auction: "Who was bidding with paddle number 146?" A "paddle" is also a piece of wood with a wide end and a long handle, placed in the water and used to move a boat forward or backwards: "Rowing the canoe paddles all afternoon made his arms very sore." Finally, a "paddle" can be a special attachment for an electric mixer, used for stirring dough: "Don't forget to scrape the paddle attachment every few minutes while you're making the cookie dough." |
