1. 1

    A wodge is a thick, soft, roughly-shaped lump of something — the kind of piece you tear or cut off without measuring, so it comes out chunky and a bit shapeless. A wodge of bread, a wodge of cheese, a wodge of cotton wool. It can also mean simply "a big amount", especially of paper or money: a wodge of , a wodge of forms to fill in. Two things to keep straight. First, it is very British, and even in Britain it is casual, spoken, slightly comic — you would say it to a friend, not write it in a report. Most Americans have never used it and some will not know it. Second, it feels thick and soft. That is the difference between a wodge and a lump or a chunk: you would not call a piece of stone or metal a wodge, because a wodge suggests something you could squash a little, or a stack of paper thick enough to bend. The word sounds like what it means, which is part of why people enjoy it: it is a heavy, soft, slightly word for a heavy, soft, slightly piece of something.

    (英式口語)一大塊、一大疊(厚厚軟軟、隨手撕下或切下的那種)
