Glue/means/sticky substance
Dear all,
According to Tannen, women are more verbal – talk more – in private situations, where they use conversation as the “glue” to hold relationships together
Which word is similar in meaning to “glue” ?
- means
- sticky substance
- game
- rope
In my opinion, although glue is literally means a sticky substance, glue has a metaphorical meaning in the context above. The author referred to conversation as a means to establish a relationship. So I tend to think of "glue" in a figurative way rather than literal way.
Please clarify it for me. Thanks always.
