(meaning too rare to warrant focus) More rarely, plumb can also be sued as a verb to refer to doing plumbing. It can also refer to the weight at the end of a line that is used to see if something is straight. Finally, it can be used as an intensifier, as when someone expresses that they are tired by saying, "I'm plumb wiped out." The last use may also be spelled like the fruit (plum).
