Phrase | filling |
Text | The word "filling," in this podcast, means the small amount of metal placed in a cavity to cover the hole in one's tooth and protect it from further damage: "They gave their little girl too much candy and other sugary foods, and she already had seven cavities by the time she was 10 years old." The word "filling" is also the food put inside a pie, sandwich, or pastry: "Her favorite doughnuts have a lemon filling." The material inside a pillow is also called "filling": He can't use that pillow because it has a real feather filling and he's allergic to feathers." As an adjective, the word "filling" describes the full, satisfied feeling in one's stomach after eating a lot of food: "That meal was really filling, so I don't have room for dessert." |
