Phrase plate
Text The word "plate," in this podcast, means a large, flat, round dish used to hold food for one person during a meal: "Benny filled his plate with chicken and mashed potatoes." A "license plate" is the rectangular piece of metal placed on the front or back of a car with that car's registration number: "Her license plate is VBF592." The word "plated" means covered with a metal, usually silver or gold: "Is that statue all gold, or is it only gold-plated?" The phrase "to have too much on (one's) plate" means that one is extremely busy and involved in too many activities: "Now that Fred's mother is ill and living with him, he has too much on his plate, given that he's still working two jobs and taking care of his kids."
