Definition: The act of removing one's clothes; a striptease.

Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! You’ve come across a tricky word today, “strips,” and the dictionary gives you a rather… revealing definition. Now, it does refer to the act of taking off your clothes – that's "removing one's clothes," as it says – and it connects to something called a "striptease." But let’s think about this deeper than just the surface meaning. “Strips” also means sections or pieces , like when you cut paper into strips! Think of it like little bits, separate parts, taken away from a whole. It's all about division and taking things in smaller pieces. Now, let’s be clear: the dictionary definition is important for understanding its original meaning, but we need to remember that words can have multiple uses! We'll talk more about context later on, how the way a word is used helps us understand what it really means. Do you all have any questions about “strips” and whether it’s just about clothes or if it has another meaning as well?
