STRAW, n. G., L. See Strew.
1. The stalk or stem of certain species of grain, pulse, &c. Chiefly of wheat, rye, oats, barley, buckwheat and peas. When used of single stalks, it admits of a plural, straws. Straws may show which way the wind blows. We say of grain while growing, the straw is large, or it is rusty.
2. A mass of the stalks of certain species of grain when cut, and after being thrashed as a bundle or a load of straw. In this sense, the word admits not the plural number.
3. Any thing proverbially worthless. I care not a straw for the play. I will not abate a straw.
STRAW, To spread or scatter. See Strew and Strow.
