Phrase | plastered |
Text | In this podcast, the word "plastered" means hung or displayed in many places, and easy to see because something is everywhere: "The walls of the artist's studio are plastered with his favorite paintings." When talking about construction, "to plaster" means to put a sticky, wet substance over the walls, which dries to become the final surface that is painted: "They plastered the walls in the new home, but they forgot to do the laundry room." The verb "to plaster" can also mean to cover any other surface with something thick: "The little boy's arms and legs were plastered with sunscreen." Finally, "plastered" is an informal word used to describe someone who is very drunk and/or has taken a lot of drugs and cannot think clearly: "Give me your car keys. You're plastered and you shouldn't drive home tonight." |
