moldboard

Advanced đź’» Tech / IT

Definition

The curved metal blade on a plow or bulldozer that heroically pushes dirt aside like a bouncer clearing a dance floor. In farming, it's the piece that actually does the flipping and turning of soil after the cutting blade does its job. Also moonlights in foundries as a "follow board," because apparently one obscure job wasn't enough.

Example Usage

The farmer replaced the worn moldboard on his plow before spring tilling, ensuring the soil would turn over properly.

iiubibvjivyppiyvvpiyiyvhuchyo

The inevitable result of keyboard mashing, whether from rage-quitting, cat interference, or the desperate need to create a "random" Urban Dictionary entry.
