Plastron
Plastron is certainly an interesting word. It describes a variety of breast plates ranging from the chest piece on a suit of armour to the padded vest worn by fencers. It can even describe a woman's bodice. Another fabulous fact to be filed away for future use. I thought today's entries were all outstanding and Margie wowed the voters with her effort. Well done again, Margie.

Plastron ~ I know this one because I have two living in my house!
A plastron is a person that is addicted (or plastered) to anything electronic. Think:computer, X-Box, T.V. and/or the remote control.
Do not ever give-up control of your remote to a plastron because you will never get it back and then spend the rest of the evening frustratedly watching all 280 channels at once.
Plastron is the term given to people addicted to cosmetic surgery, botox, etc. They've had so much work done, they look like a Barbie doll or some other plastic doll.
Joan Rivers is a famous American plastron. Hollywood is full of them.
A plastron is a chemical element. It's part of the atom (electron, neutron, and protons. It was newly discovered by a chemistry teacher in Austin, Texas. He noticed that there was a fourth element. The school just got a new microscope that magnified a million times the size. The new discovery will change what we know about atoms. Chemistry and science books will have to be updated. But until that is done, more proof is needed.
Plastron is a robot made of a highly pliable plastic it can not be destroyed, or melted, or broken it is the new thing in robotics
Plastron is the lastest kind of wall covering. It is amazing stuff. It can be rolled directly onto the walls, it requires no adhesive. It never creases or tears and it sets into a perfect finish. It is available in any colour or pattern and once it is on the walls it is completely stain resistant. It cannot be dented or marked in any way. It's a decorators dream.
Sorry, have just read my comment - it should have read latest as opposed to lastest!
Plastron is the name of the pieces left over when making kitset furniture. Usually it looks like you don't need them so you throw them away and it is only 6 months later when the furniture is falling apart do you realise you needed them. Not often described in instructions
A plastron is a wave of energy emmitted from a comet. In the rare instances it reaches earth, no known ill effects have been noted. The only exception was in 1883 when Lipton's Comet released a plastron over New Jersey and a slew of quadruplet births was reported nine months later.
Plastron is the correct name for the awful feedback that comes out of the speakers when over enthusiastic people manage to get hold of a microphone, usually at functions such as weddings. The pitch of Plastron is directly related to how much alcohol the person holding the microphone has had to drink, i.e. the more inebriated the person is, the closer they hold the microphone to their mouth, therefore the higher the pitch of Plastron.
Plastron is the name for little balls made of the sticky coagulated mucus from a child's nose. These are usually flicked across the room or at little sisters.
Having just spent 3 days moving house and office last week, my fantasy is that a plastron is a remarkable device that can uplift all the contents of your residence and within moments transport it your new abode, have everything unpacked and ready to move into on the same day. Now wouldn't that be nice? Anyway, it's good to finally be back on the blog.
