Selective Amnesia

SO, you didn’t know what Prodigal meant.

Except for Krithika, who came very close to the meaning, none of you even attempted to answer the question.

Quiz for the day. Tell me at-least 5 meanings of this word.

Plug

No peeking.

Well, here is my try—1. The electrical device used to ignite the gases as in Spark-plug
2. The electrical device with two or three pins that is inserted in a socket
3. (verb) Close tightly with…. as in with a plug
4. Small amount of something.. such as tobacco
5. I cant think of anything else but the slang when a plug means… well you know what it means

Handa seems to have this one covered.
Plug is also American slang for a punch/shot.

Well, thanks for that!
Plug – ummm, an electrical device used mostly with a socket
a stopper (as in, I’d plugged cotton in my ears)
a lump
thinking hard alrighty, I give up!

1. a connector used to connect elec appliances
2. to stop a leak or cover a hole
3. a stopper used to keep water in the bath
4. to publicise something

i don’t think it’s used to ignite anything. that comes from the “spark” in spark plug doesn’t it?
