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.
