a weapon: an object which is used to attack, hurt, or damage (someone or something) noun

Examples

  • "Weapon used: LARGE TEETH"
  • "Also... says something here about nuclear weapons, so maybe that's not the best idea."

Exercise 1
Bruno wants a hug. What is a hug?

Bruno wants a hug. What is a hug?
Although Bruno could use a magic potion to heal the many injuries Horatio has inflicted upon him, a "hug" isn't a potion.
Yes! Hugs are used to express friendship, love, sexual attraction, etcetera. Bruno wants to "hug" Horatio, but Horatio chooses to cut him with his machete instead.
Although this type of armor would be very useful for Bruno right now, this isn't what a hug is.
Good guess! But a hug isn't a weapon of destruction, but rather a tool of love and peace.
