Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
Tommorow is the D Day for me. Going to traumatologist to have my leg checked and hopefuly to remove this gypsium, or whatever you guys call it, off my leg.
Most English speakers refer to it as a plaster of Paris cast or plaster cast or 'cast' for short. So in your case a leg cast. You can also have an arm cast and even a body cast.
The term comes from the art industry where casts or moulds are made for various things.
In the UK a bandage for a cut is typically called a plaster no idea why.
Cast is also the term used for movies and TV shows for the group of actors.
Cast is also used for a ship setting sail, as in 'casting off'.
You can also 'cast' something to someone.
Also in when fishing you 'cast your line'.
Because you know,English...
