PLOWED Meaning and
Definition
-
When used as a verb, "plowed" typically refers to the action of breaking up and turning over the soil using a plow, a farming tool. This process is vital in preparing the land for planting crops or for other agricultural purposes. By running the blades of the plow through the soil, it is separated into furrows or ridges, allowing for the incorporation of fertilizers, minerals, or other substances that enhance productivity. The act of plowing also helps to control weeds, loosen compacted soil, and improve drainage.
In an extended metaphorical sense, "plowed" can also describe a forceful or determined act or advancement through any kind of terrain, such as plowing through a crowd or plowing through a heavy workload. This usage implies a vigorous, unstoppable movement or progress despite obstacles or resistance. It suggests a relentless determination and persistence in achieving a goal, usually with great energy and effort.
Additionally, in informal contexts, "plowed" can also mean being heavily intoxicated or drunk, where one has consumed a significant amount of alcohol. This colloquial usage derives from the comparison between one's level of intoxication and the idea of plowing through or tilling the earth with a plow, implying being thoroughly "turned over" or affected by the effects of alcohol.
