stopper

We decided to do some hitchhiking or become what the locals called an “auto-stopper.”

Spill stopper  This is a silicone lid that sits on top of your pots and prevents them from boiling over.

First, it's a conversation stopper, especially in the United States.

On the show-stopper "Turn It Off," sung by a closeted missionary struggling with his sexuality.

This is an effortless show-stopper and the leftovers make for fabulous sandwiches, too.

When we lift the stopper the fluid for a moment falls straight down through the opening.

It is so heavy that an ordinary cork would soon be forced out by it, therefore an iron stopper must be screwed in.

If live grasshoppers, or similar bait, is desired the cork can be used unnotched to form a watertight stopper.

Not infrequently one end of the handle terminated in a tobacco stopper.

If a stopper is used, the workman must see that it is taken out.
