The Meaning of Thrift. Thrift implies careful spending, maximum earning, and no wasting. Thrift means much more than the accumulation of a savings account. It means careful and well-considered use of materials as well as money, for even the wise use of money, basic as it is to thrift, is only one phase. Thrift means wise direction of time and effort. It means protection of health. Finally, it means intelligent care of human beings by the community, the State, and the Nation. The best way to begin a thrift movement is by studying simple household problems. From this individual inspection the larger social phases of thrift in community life must develop.

Etymology: From dialectal pot (“pit, hollow, cavity”) + hole. The "cave" senses, attested since at least 1809 (as pot-hole), may be from Middle English pot, potte (“a deep hole for a mine, or from peat-digging”), of uncertain origin; perhaps related to English pit, pote, or pot. Compare Scots pott, patt (“a pit dug in the ground; coalpit”).
Base: pot

pos: noun

Senses:
gloss: A shallow pit or other edged depression in a road's surface, especially when caused by erosion by weather or traffic.
pos: noun
examples: I was so tired that potholes, fumes and noise aside, I slept regardless, my head rag-dolling from side to side.
The previous Elantra had three problems: The steering hero-worshiped Novocain, occupants grew hoarse from shouting over road noise, and large potholes betrayed a lack of structure.
Labour's Shadow Transport Secretary Louise Haigh said: "There is a cost-of-living crisis, and the Prime Minister blew nearly £1m of public money on an utterly infeasible vanity project. That's enough to fill 18,000 potholes. This shows the Tories' sheer disrespect for public money."
gloss: A pit formed in the bed of a turbulent stream.
pos: noun
examples: 2002, May-June, Grand River Conservation Authority (Canada) Newsletter
The earliest ideas on the creation of potholes are that they were associated with "moulins de glacier" (glacier mills) formed where surface streams on glaciers and ice sheets fall into holes in the ice. Water entering these surficial holes was believed to impact on the bedrock beneath creating a large pothole. The "Moulin Hypothesis", first suggested in 1874, continued to be accepted by many authors until the 1950s. However, commencing in the 1930s, other authors have suggested dissatisfaction with the moulin hypothesis, largely on the grounds that it failed to explain how ice could remain stable long enough for the "giant" potholes to form and why many potholes (like those at Rockwood) were present in large numbers.
