The word earring It is a term that observes several uses and therefore we can find different meanings ...
That which hangs, is suspended or hung from something
Its most general use says that pending is what hangs. When something hangs it implies that it is suspended or hung from something that thing
What is sloping or declining
TO that which is inclined or presents a declineSuch may be the case of a land or some structure, we usually say that it is on a slope.
“ The road is very dangerous, there is a part of the terrain that is on a slope, be careful when passing. Climbers must overcome several slopes to reach their destination.”
This sense is normally used associated with terrain or roads that present a pronounced incline and are characterized by being dangerous to travel, either on foot or in some way of locomotion.
For example, they are usually warned through signs that indicate precisely the incline and that strict caution must be followed when crossing them.
Those who do not heed the warnings of danger They could suffer a complicated accident, so it is always advisable to respect them and drive through them with caution.
Task to perform
On the other hand, there is also talk of slope when something, a homework, an activity or question is yet to be done or, failing that, to be resolved.
“I have work pending at the office, I don't think I'll be home before six in the afternoon. I have to visit my aunt.”
Generally, lack of time or provision a lot of work prevent you from being able to fulfill all the tasks you have, and inevitably this will lead to place some on the plane of the pending, being able to be resolved once one is freed from obligations.
Typically, people attend to the most important issues first and those that are not are left waiting to have enough time to resolve them.
Attention that someone gives us
In another vein, when someone is extremely attentive to another or worried that something that is expected will finally happen, the term pending is often used to refer to it.
“Juan was watching over me all night, I didn't feel very comfortable. Laura was on the phone waiting for her mother I called her to confirm that she arrived safely.”
This sense is usually used on a case-by-case basis as a synonym for concern, consideration and attention for what is happening to another person for whom you have appreciation. And it also applies a lot to those situations or events that are expected to occur.
Fashion accessory that hangs on the ear
Another recurring and widespread use of the word pending is that which refers to the dangle hoop, jewel, or adornment that hangs from the earlobe.
Although earrings are a fashion accessory mainly intended for the female audience, there are also many men who have been joining the fashion for earrings in recent years.
“My dad gave me some gold earrings.”
The earrings are accessories fashionable as we said and that help to revalue an outfit, that is, many times, good accessories are what make the difference and make a look look much better and attractive than without they.
There are earrings of all kinds of design, materials and of course of various costs.
Those made of silver, gold, or made with other precious materials obviously have a very high value than others made of cheaper materials.
In any case, many times, the beauty or aesthetic imprint of an earring is not so much in the high cost but in the innovative design it displays.
Math: tilting an element
And finally, in the field of math, the slope is called tilt of an element, either the same, natural constructive or ideal, with respect to a horizontal; the slope of a line will be the degree of inclination that it observes. The inclination may be positive (being increasing, increasing the values of x consequently increase the values of y), negative (on the contrary, it is decreasing, as the values of x increase, those of y decrease) or null (It is a constant line).
