"Girdles" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
A girdle is a flexible band or strip of material worn to confine, support, or decorate the body, typically around the waist, hips, or shoulders. In modern usage, the term is often used to refer specifically to a type of women's undergarment that is designed to smooth and shape the figure, usually worn underneath clothing.
Girders refer to large structural members, typically composed of steel or concrete, used in construction to support buildings, bridges, and other large structures. They are often horizontal or sloping beams that run lengthwise along the structure, providing a framework for the walls, floors, and roof to rest upon.
