Entry 8: Plum
adj. straight, on target, perfect
Derived from cricket. A 'plum throw' is one that goes right down the center and hits the middle wicket and blobbly dongler which means it's two points not out plus runs with the squiff, which is added to the total double-half major score of the 24-hour test...
"You slotted the fuel rod on your first try? That's dead plum, that is."
