plumber แปลว่า

"There is nothing to work him into a fine feeling of agony and despair like an exam scheduled for the next day, or a paper to write, or a concert in which he is to sing. Wish him the top of the morning when he is looking forward to one of these events, and then hear the woeful story of how badly he is going to be plumbered."

"And yet she sent back his letters unopened and crashed down the telephone receiver on him with monotonous regularity. Well, he guessed it was his own fault. He’d plumbered the works beyond repair that first day."

"If it was not east of where I had started out, I had plumbered myself sure enough, because I didn’t have the energy to go back the other way."
