BackSplash
angel on Jul-26-2009
I was browsing a magazine about interior design today and I came across the term “backsplash”. I’ve heard this word before but I never really bothered to look up its meaning until now. As it turns out, it’s sort of like wall tiles vertically rising above a countertop or other work surface to decorate the wall or protect it from spills and splashes. There are different kinds too, there’s the stainless steel backsplash, and other kind of materials such as tiles, Corian, granite, or Formica. It’s useful to know terms such as this, at least I’m not gonna appear completely ignorant in case someone mentions the word to me in the future. Reading and looking up new words really does increase the vocabulary, I should do it more often. Hehe.
