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.
