Plod

                   
PLOD redirects here, an acronym for "Purple Label of Death", associated with Comic Guaranty LLC.

Plod can refer to:

  • In policing;
    • Plod or P.C.Plod is a British slang term used to refer to a police officer, particularly one slow-witted or dull. A more recent variant is the plod, meaning the police force in general. The term originates from the character Mr. Plod, a police officer in the Noddy stories written by Enid Blyton.[1] A variant is MOD PLOD, referring to the British Ministry of Defence Police clearly resulting from the above civilian slang.
    • PLOD or P.L.O.D. is an acronym for Police Link Officers for Deaf people. Established in 1999 by the Hampshire Constabulary (UK), Link Officers aim to promote equality of access to the police for deaf, deaf-blind, deafened and hard of hearing people. Similar schemes are being introduced by other police forces.
  • Plod Sheet or Plod is a term used in the Australian mining industry, particularly in the context of drilling, referring to a “Daily Activity Sheet”, or written log of activity at a particular site or machine. A Plod Sheet for a drilling rig would include details identifying the rig and location, who was working, their hours, type of activity, metres drilled, consumables, safety issues, etc. In some mining companies from the mid 1900s, or possibly earlier, PLOD was understood to mean “Progress Log Of Drilling”. Usage of Plod is now common but not universal. The drillers' slang is "Please leave on dashboard". Other interpretations in use since at least before the 1990's are "Personal Log of Duties (or Day)" and "Personnel - Log of Duties (or Day)". Coloured or plain plod cards (rather than sheets) are almost universally used in hardrock underground mines throughout Australia for each work type or classification, such as drilling, trucking, loading, service crew, etc.. and are also common in Open Pit mining crews. Plod cards tend to be specific to individuals, sheets relating to machines, equipment or types of activity are not generally referred to as plods.
  • Plod was an English Rock group notable for the brevity of their discography. Their only available track is Neo City, a three-and-a-half minute Power Pop blast recorded in 1975 and first released 28 years later on a 2003 compilation, Velvet Tinmine: 20 Junk Shop Glam Ravers, apparently from a cassette source.
  • Plod, the Swedish musical duo of Erik Hedin and Franz Enmark, with various releases on Worm Interface Records.

boggle

Boggle gives you 3 minutes to find as many words (3 letters or more) as you can in a grid of 16 letters. You can also try the grid of 16 letters. Letters must be adjacent and longer words score better. See if you can get into the grid Hall of Fame !
