Plattered

Plattered: adjective. This word has two very specific definitions, describing things in two different ways.

1. Describes a sound, if it resembles that of raindrops falling on metallic plates, which are made of iron, tin, nickel and copper and have an area of 2x5 metres. If the raindrops fall on anything else, then this word cannot be used to describe the sound. Sorry.
2. Describing something which resembles that plate, that's sort of like a plate for salad, but it isn't a bowl and it's too big to be a regular plate, and yet too small to be a platter. You know, that thing.
