microphone
microphone meaning
A handheld stage microphone. It stands for singing, performing and speaking to a crowd. It is used in music and public-speaking contexts, and it carries the mic drop — the gesture of saying something so decisive there is nothing left to add. That figurative use is now easily as common as the literal one.
