Word of the Week No. 2: Thrift Shop
💰🛍️👜👛👖👚
You may know the word “thrift shop” from the famous 2012 hip-hop song “Thrift Shop” by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. You may like the song and listen to it repeatedly but do you really know what thrift shop means?
According to Oxford Dictionary, the definition of thrift shop is:
“a store that sells clothes and other good given by people to raise money for a charity.”
In other words, thrift shop is a shop where people donate their used items that they don’t use anymore (e.g. old clothes and bags) to raise money for a charity of their choice. A thrift shop is built for a good cause: to help other people in need or who are less economically unfortunate. A thrift shop has charitable purposes.
So, it is important to understand everything you say, sing, read, or listen. You may sing the song “Thrift Shop” without knowing what it is about. Sure, the song isn’t necessarily about giving donations but isn’t it great if you know what thrift shop is? Now you know more about the song. In summary, the song is about spending money excessively in a thrift shop. 💸💸💸
