Todays BWOTD is one I have to correct myself on almost daily to be understood in school!
"I need to put a plaster on that" 'Plaster' = Bandaid Oh yes, I have confused many little kids with this one!
But there are also a couple of other uses taken from this word:
Plaster Board
aka Sheet Rock.
Plastered = Drunk, and very commonly used by us Brit's.
It took me a few years to stop saying mobile instead of cell phone.
ReplyDeleteFunny, though, I never heard "plaster." I just learned something!
Well, even us Americans use the word "plastered" to denote "drunk". haha.
ReplyDeleteBut that is interesting, plaster for bandaid. I am sure that WOULD confuse the little kiddies! :)
We use plaster in Hawaii, too.
ReplyDeleteAmanda from Amanda's Musings is from England and she wrote me that she was chuffed about something. I was so excited because I'd learned that word on your blog post.
