plunger definition and meaning

What is a "plunger"?

A plunger is a tool used to clear blockages in drains, such as toilets, sinks, or bathtubs. It consists of a rubber cup at the end of a long handle. The rubber cup is placed over the drain, and the handle is pushed down and pulled up to create pressure that loosens the blockage. Plungers are effective for removing clogs caused by hair, soap, or waste, and are commonly used in bathrooms and kitchens. They are a simple and inexpensive tool that helps restore proper drainage without the need for chemicals or professional help.
