“Did You Hear? Sue Got That Plumb Job in Marketing!”
I actually got into an argument recently with my 14 year-old about whether the adjective “plumb” was a dictionary-approved synonym for “choice,” “desired,” or “sought after.”
The rub?
None of the alternative meanings under “plumb” matched my definition.
A few days later, I realized what the problem was: we were spelling “plum” with an extra “b” — as in “plumber,” “plumbing” (namely, “bad” or “leaking”), and “vertical” (a plumb line).
P.S.: I blame 5% of it on dyslexia. 🙂
