1. To practice, especially a musical instrument or piece of
music. From jazz slang. Metaphorically, "take one'
s axe to the woodshed."
2. To consume or engage with. Used primarily by musicians as an extension of the first
definition.
1. I spent all
morning shedding
guitar.
That
gig was rough, I definitely didn't shed those songs hard enough.
2. "Have you shed Parks and Rec?" "Not yet, I'm shedding The Office first."
At some point, almost every philosophy student sheds Plato.
