Definition: Broken bricks, stone and/or other aggregate used as foundations, especially in road and path laying.
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look!
The dictionary has given us a rather sturdy definition today – “broken bricks, stone and/or other aggregate used as foundations, especially in road and path laying.” That tells us
exactly
what hardcore is: it's the base layer, the solid ground beneath.
But "hardcore" can also have a different meaning, you see? It’s not just about building roads!
“Hardcore” often describes something intense – really, truly powerful.
Think of it like this: if you’re talking about music, hardcore might mean music that's loud, fast, and full of energy. It's a style known for being… well,
hard
to ignore!
Sometimes, we use it to describe attitudes or actions too – something really dedicated, committed, even challenging. Like someone who’s “hardcore” about their training, or "hardcore" about protecting what they believe in.
So, let's recap:
In construction:
It's the foundational layer - solid and strong!
Figuratively (and maybe more commonly):
It’s intense, passionate, and unwavering.
Do you have any questions about that? Perhaps you could give me an example of how “hardcore” might be used in a sentence?
