Title: Which Word Has the Most Meanings in English?
Host(s): Lindsay McMahon & Aubrey Carter
Date: August 27, 2025

Overview

In this episode, Lindsay and Aubrey dive into the surprising fact that the word “set” holds the record for the most meanings in English—over 430! Rather than overwhelm listeners with an exhaustive list, they simplify things by breaking down these meanings into four practical "buckets." The discussion is filled with relatable examples, practical tips for learners, role-play, and insights into American culture and language evolution.

---

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Cultural Warm-Up: Setting the Table

• Lindsay and Aubrey begin with a light-hearted discussion on family traditions around setting the table.
• They note that table-setting customs vary not only between families in the US, but globally—an easy segue to the word “set” itself and its versatility.
• Quote:
  • Lindsay: “It’s so interesting to join people in their homes for dinner and just to see how it’s done differently among every family.” (03:00)

2. “Set” Has 430 Meanings!

• The hosts introduce the mind-boggling fact about "set," stressing that this should never intimidate learners.
• Their solution: focus on four main categories, or “buckets,” of meanings used in authentic conversations.
• Quote:
  • Aubrey: “Verbs, nouns, adjectives… all together, ‘set’ holds the record for the highest number of distinct meanings in English!” (03:48)

3. Bucket 1: Positioning/Placing Something (Location)

• “Set” can mean to put, lay, or stand something in a specified place or position.
• Examples include setting a mug on a table, the setting of a movie (“set in Paris”), or a diamond being set in a ring.
• Memorable Explanation:
  • Aubrey: “When it comes to stories, plays, movies or scenes… you’re representing something as happening at a specified time or in a specific place if you’re saying it was set somewhere.” (06:37)
• Classic example:
  • “Set the table,” “The movie was set in Paris,” “Her bracelet was set with emeralds.”
  • Explanation that context changes the nuance, but it's fundamentally about ‘placement.’

4. Bucket 2: Establishing, Deciding, or Changing State

• This bucket covers using “set” to mean putting something into a specified state or establishing something.
• Examples:
  • Setting someone free (changing their state from captive to free).
  • Setting a precedent (establishing an example for others).
  • Setting a date (deciding on a time).
  • Setting a limit (establishing a restriction).
• Timeless tip:
  • Aubrey points out that some uses (like “set me thinking”) are outdated, and shares how learners can avoid antiquated phrases.
• Quote:
  • Aubrey: “For a word like this, if you just look it up and read all of the meanings… you’re going to see a lot that aren’t really in use anymore… It’s nice for us to be able to cover that here to let you know which meanings are still being used.” (09:40)

5. Bucket 3: Adjusting Devices (Clocks, Alarms, etc.)

• Using “set” to adjust something so it’s correct, particularly timepieces and similar devices.
• Examples:
  • “Set my watch to local time.”
  • “Set your alarm.”
  • “Don’t set your phone ringer too high.”
• Memorable moment:
  • Lindsay: “Sometimes people set their ringers to some, like, weird music, tacky music or something, and they get really embarrassed when their phone goes off in the middle.” (12:26)
• The hosts highlight this as a common, very practical use in everyday life.

6. Bucket 4: Hardening/Fixing in Place (Solid State or Expression)

• “Set” can refer to hardening, like glue or cake solidifying, or even bones healing.
• Examples:
  • “Cook until the cake has fully set.”
  • “They waited a few weeks to see if the bone was going to set itself.”
  • “His face seemed set in a permanent scowl.”
• Discussion extends to idiomatic uses, like “resting [blank] face.”
• Quote:
  • Aubrey: “So it’s either about something hardening into a solid state, or hardening into maybe the correct position.” (15:21)
  • Lindsay: “That can actually create your reality, because a lot of what happens in life is how people initially read us.” (17:21)

7. Role Play: The Clockmaker Apprentice

Timestamps: 17:47–20:34

• Lindsay and Aubrey role-play as a clockmaker and apprentice, using the different meanings of “set” in context:
  • "Set it on the workbench." (placing)
  • "I'll try to set it." (adjusting)
  • "After it sets, the clock will hold time steady." (hardening)
  • "We may have set a record." (establishing)
• Memorable moment:
  • Lindsay: “I think this is the 10th clock we fixed today, we may have set a record.” (20:14)
• Followed by a discussion about the nostalgia and value of hands-on, traditional jobs.

8. Learning Tips & Takeaways

• Context is key: Understanding which "bucket" a usage falls into requires context clues.
• Don’t bother memorizing all 430 meanings—focus on practical, conversational usage.
• Outdated meanings: Rely on up-to-date sources and podcasts for real-life language, not just dictionaries.
• Quote:
  • Aubrey: “This is really where to learn them. We’re sharing on the podcast how we really use this word today.” (21:25)
• Listeners are encouraged to send in examples of “set” that puzzle them for future episodes.

[A]

I'm great, Lindsay. How are you?

[B]

Excellent. Excellent. Aubry, do you set the table before you eat a meal?

[A]

I do not. Why? I'm in my. At my parents in Idaho and I'm reminded that they do every night, right? They're setting a full table setting for everyone. I'm like, oh, yeah, we did do this when I was a kid. We don't know. It's like, grab a plate, dish yourself up, and then come to the table.

[B]

Yeah. That's so nice, though. It's kind of quaint, right?

[A]

It's.

[B]

It's quaint. And what does it mean to. Because when we ask that question, that could range anywhere from just putting like fork and spoon. Or it could be a whole thing with tablecloth. A tablecloth and everything.

[A]

Right. And that might be different for everyone. Right. When my mom sets the table, it's a plate and a napkin with a fork, a knife and a spoon. That's the table setting. But some people right there, they definitely would have a tablecloth or maybe a placemat at everyone's place. Maybe a cloth folded napkin and fancy glass. Right? It depends. Every person has a different table setting.

[B]

Yeah. It's so interesting to join people in their homes for Dinner and just to see how it's done differently every. Among every family, you know, and that's.

[A]

Just in the United States. Right. Even more different in countries around the world. It's very cultural, how formal your dinner is and whether you set the table or not, and if so, how.

[B]

That's why we love traveling and, like, home stays and things. I know when I traveled in South America, I was lucky enough to be invited into a lot of people's homes in Colombia, especially because we connected with one family. We stayed with them for a few days, and then they called their cousins in Bogota or, you know, in Medellin. You're not going to stay in a hostel. You're staying with my friend or my cousin or my, you know, we didn't stay in any hostels in the entire country.

[A]

It was great. So you actually saw how these families eat dinner. And that's awesome.

[B]

Love it. It was really cool. So what are we getting into today?

[A]

Yeah, so this is interesting. In a recent episode, we shared that set has the most meanings In English over 430 different senses, as a verb, noun, adjective holds the record for the highest number of distinct meanings in English. So stay to the end. We'll share that episode if you missed it. But today we're going to share the most common meanings of this word. It's crazy that the word set has so many meanings.

[B]

Yes. And before we get into it today, I want to call out a couple names that have reviewed us and ask our listeners to go and leave us a review. Guys, the reviews keep us motivated. They let us know what you think of the show. So special thank you to Sig from China on July 8, Chrissy D from the US who reviewed us also on July 8, Renato Nunes, a wonderful five star review and he says the best podcast ever from Brazil on July 7th. Aubry, I will send you that review. It's really sweet. It's really nice. Then thank you to super Janet Gao From China on July 2 and amazing reviews, everyone. Thank you so much. Please go ahead and leave us a review and we will try to announce your name on the show. Right, Aubrey?

[A]

Yes. Thank you for these reviews. We read them, we appreciate them. They're a few weeks old now because we record ahead of time, but for us, today was just a couple of days ago.

[B]

You got it. Exactly. All right. Excellent, Aubrey. So let's dive deep into this topic today. Where do we start?

[A]

Let's do it. So we're going to go through some of the most common meanings of set with example Sentences. Because I can imagine this could cause a lot of confusion. You're seeing this word set as a verb, noun, adjective in so many different ways. So we're hopeful we can clarify this for you today.

[B]

Well, yeah, as soon as you said 430, I sort of thought, oh, my gosh, what are we getting into?

[A]

So maybe we're going to do all of them. But what's interesting, I've sort of grouped these meanings. We have four today. That's sort of an umbrell group of what they mean. And then we have sort of definitions under those that will quickly go through with an example for each because there are so many. Even within sort of an umbrella of how we use this word, there will be so many different definitions.

[B]

All right, so for the first one, even though there are 400 plus meanings, again, four buckets today, what is the first bucket of type of meaning? Aubry.

[A]

Yes. This first bucket is to put, lay, or stand something in a specified place or position. Right. So, for example, Dana set the mug of tea down. We're setting it down. But within that bucket, there are some very different meanings that really still fit within that meaning.

[B]

Yes. It sounds like, again, yeah.

[A]

The.

[B]

The broad meaning being around location, kind of. Right. Location of something. The positioning something.

[A]

Exactly. So, for example, when it comes to stories, plays, movies, or scenes. Right. It's not about setting something on a table, but you're representing something as happening at a specified time or in a spec place. If you're saying it was set somewhere.

[B]

Yeah. So, for example, the movie was set in Paris. Okay. Yeah.

[A]

Another way of saying the setting was Paris of a story or a movie. It was set in Paris.

[B]

Now, another example in this same bucket. Again, coming back to positioning location, mounting a precious stone in something, usually a piece of jewelry. Yep. We've had. We did an episode about diamonds. Aubrey. A few.

[A]

That's right.

[B]

Hundred back.

[A]

Yes. If you guys missed that script, scroll back. Or you could come to the app and search diamond. That was really interesting about diamond mining. We've also talked about idioms that have diamonds.

[B]

Yes. And so, for example, her bracelet was set with emeralds. Right. And usually you might set a diamond with. I don't know, what is it that just gold, gold or silver? I don't know.

[A]

It's a setting. Right. It might be with white gold, rose gold, silver. Right. Whatever you're setting the stone in. And so it's interesting how all of these really are about putting something in a specific place, but because we use it for a table setting setting, you know, A plate or silverware on a table or the setting of a movie where it's set, what location it's at. Also, for precious stones, they all are counting as individual definitions, which is what ends up making this word have 430 unique meanings.

[B]

Oh, my gosh, I love it. But it really, it is going to be helpful for our listeners if they can think of this first bucket as placing something in a certain position or location.

[A]

Okay, love that. Yeah. Okay, what's the second good is to put or bring into a specified state. So, for example, the hostages were set free. Right. They were in a state of captivity and. Okay, they were set free. They were put in a different state of freedom. Right?

[B]

Yeah. Yes.

[A]

But then with that bucket, we have lots of different meanings here.

[B]

Yeah. So for example, cause to cause someone or something to start doing something. So again, it is related to the umbrella to put or bring something into a specified state. So, for example, the argument set me thinking, oh, this is interesting. This one I don't use very much. Do you use it this way, Aubry?

[A]

Yeah, some of these were interesting and actually a lot. So you had 430 meanings. Lot of them I eliminated as being a bit archaic, antiquated. And this is one of them. That's right on the edge. You will see this in older books, you'll hear it in older movies, but I think in modern speech, we're much more likely to say, it got me thinking or it made me think. We'll rarely hear someone say, that set me thinking.

[B]

Yeah, so we wouldn't necessarily recommend the use of that in 2025. But, you know, flipping into got me thinking. That's a good thing to remember from today's episode.

[A]

Okay. Yeah, good. Yeah, it's interesting because then, you know, for a ver. For a word like this, if you just look it up and read all of the meanings, that's good to know that you're going to see a lot like this one that aren't really in use much anymore. And sometimes the dictionary will let you know, it'll say something like outdated, antiquated, but not always. So that's another thing. It's nice for us to be able to cover that here to let you know which meanings are still being used.

[B]

Yeah. Because you don't want to walk around using an antiquated phrase and you don't realize it.

[A]

Right.

[B]

We need to know.

[A]

Exactly. So I agree. I would just say that got me thinking or it made me think.

[B]

Good. What would be another?

[A]

Yeah, so the next definition under this umbrella is to establish something as an example for others to follow or try to achieve. So, for example, the judge's decision sets a precedent for future cases.

[B]

So it's establishing something or establishing something like a record. So her time in the race set a national record. We talk a lot in exercise about personal record pr. You set your pr. Right.

[A]

Exactly. Once you've said it, then that's what you're always trying to overcome. Right? You're trying to break that pr.

[B]

Exactly. What about decide on. Is that another category?

[A]

This is another meaning under this umbrella. Right. So, for example, they set a date for their wedding at the end of February. So it's like you're establishing that as your date or you're deciding on that date.

[B]

Yeah, I like the word establish. To establish something. That's kind of the fancier way to say that. Right. Or a fix, a price, a value, a limit on something. The unions had set a limit on the size of the temporary workforce. Okay.

[A]

Yeah. So to. We'll say to fix a limit, Establish, again, a limit. We'll say also set a limit. Something sets a limit on something else.

[B]

All right, so those are the two buckets. So again, the first one is positioning something in a place or bringing into a state. I feel like that might be a little harder to understand as a bucket. But you guys have heard our examples here, so we'll go with those.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. And I like this word establishing for most of those. It's like you're establishing something whether it's.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Ors. Right. You're setting something, establishing something about it.

[B]

Yeah, I like that, too. Let's go with that being the. Essentially, the bucket right there is establishing something.

[A]

The third bucket is what is adjusting something. Maybe a clock or a watch to show the right time. So, for example, I need to set my watch to local time as soon as the plane lands.

[B]

Huh. Adjusting. Yeah, so that's. That's perfect. Or adjusting the volume of something. Don't set the volume of your ringer too high.

[A]

Right. Exactly.

[B]

Yeah. And then sometimes people set their ringers to some, like, weird music, tacky music or something, and they get really embarrassed when their phone goes off in the middle.

[A]

It's not silenced, and they forget that it's some strange sound, like the goat yelling or something. For abrasive.

[B]

Yeah. So funny. So that's. That's a small bucket there, but that is a bucket. Right. Adjusting a clock or a watch. Okay.

[A]

Yeah. It's interesting how some of these smaller buckets is how we hear it the most. Right. Talking about Setting alarms, setting clocks. Right. We use that maybe most often of all of these.

[B]

I mean, essentially, Aubry, we could do a whole episode just on that one bucket. Set your alarm, set your watch, set your call.

[A]

All of the other ways that we say that. Absolutely.

[B]

Yes, yes. Hiring is hard. You have to be sure you ask the right questions, sort through all of the details, and find your star candidate who will really help move your business forward.

Indeed.comAE terms and conditions apply. Hiring Indeed is all you need. All right, number four, what's the fourth bucket?

[A]

All right, this is the final bucket we're doing today, which is to harden into a solid state. So for example, you might say cook for 30 minutes until the cake has fully set. And that means it's no longer wobbly, it's no longer undercooked, it's set, it's solid.

[B]

Perfect. Yes. Or sometimes someone. This just happened to my brother in law. He broke his collarbone actually. Yeah. Mountain biking. He flipped over the bike, of course, hit a rock and he ended up. So what they did was they put it into a sling and they waited a few weeks to see if it was going to set itself and it didn't. So he needed surgery to set it properly. So that's exactly the meaning of this. To put parts of a body, a bone or a limb into the correct position for healing.

[A]

Right, exactly right. So it's either about something hardening into a solid state or hardening into maybe the correct position. Right. Yeah. This is the worst when someone has to have a bone re broken or like you said, surgery. Right. But you could say the doctor lined up the bones and set the arm. It's there. Moving it into the correct state.

[B]

Yeah. Aubrey, have you ever broken an arm or a leg or Any important limbs?

[A]

I haven't. I haven't broken a lot of bones. I did fracture my wrist once when I wrecked a motorcycle. I, like, ran it into a brick wall. It was awful. I was more upset about the cost to repair my friend's motorcycle than. Than my wrist, so it was a very minor fracture. What about you? Have you broken a lot of bones?

[B]

No. I've also been very lucky. I. I had a hairline wrist fracture, too, from tennis practice backpedaling on the tennis court in college. But no, other than that it would.

[A]

Happen more often when we fall and catch ourselves. Yeah. Broken a lot of bones.

[B]

Ah, I'm sure. Kids are always running around getting hurt, right?

[A]

Yeah, right, exactly. And then the final definition here, under this same bucket. Right. Is referencing facial expressions. Right. To assume a fixed or rigid expression. You might say his face seemed set in a permanent scowl. And we could say fixed, but we'll often use the word set for this.

[B]

Yes. And we have a kind of a slang term. I won't say the word because we don't. We don't swear on this. On this show, but we have a term. You guys can look it up. Resting something face. So, unfortunately, like, some people. And sometimes people will get corrective surgery, but sometimes people just have, like, a facial look that they look angry. And when they have a couple of.

[A]

Friends that really admit people themselves. Right. They're like, I just have this grumpy face all the time. I don't mean it. That's just. My resting face looks a little bit grumpy.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.

[A]

It might be maybe in that angry expression all the time.

[B]

It's really interesting. Right. And that can actually create your reality because a lot of what happens in life is how people initially read us.

[A]

Right, Right. If we have our face set in a certain expression, then people will assume that we're angry or frustrated about something. So. Yeah, that's really, really tricky. That could hurt connection, right?

[B]

It could hurt connection. Yeah. So here, let's do a role play. Aubrey here. I'm a clock maker.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

Always wanted to be a clock maker. Interesting. You're an apprentice in the shop. Okay, perfect.

[A]

I'll start us out. An antique clock was just dropped off. They said it stopped ticking last month.

[B]

Perfect. Set it on the workbench, please.

[A]

All right. It looks like the gears are misaligned. I'll try to set it.

[B]

We may need to glue the. We may need to glue the reset cog. After it sets, the clock will hold time steady.

[A]

I think this is the 10th clock we fixed today, we may have set a record.

[B]

Don't you wish that we could go back to the days of just, I don't know, just jobs that are more using our hands and like actually fixing things and apprenticeships. I kind of. I don't know, there's a certain nostalgia, you know, Cobbler.

[A]

Right. A lot of those jobs have been replaced. But it's interesting being up. I'm in Idaho right now with my family and it's a farming community.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So it's fascinating. Like on July 4th, I'm chatting with people that I haven't seen in a long time. And a lot of them are farmers. Right. Or they're talking about irrigating. Like a lot of them still work the land, work with their hands. That's kind of a. Definitely feels like an older way of life or a slower paced way of life. It's interesting how for a lot of the world it's, you know, maybe there aren't as many clock makers and people fixing clocks or maybe that's done more with machine. But it's interesting how a lot of jobs still are the same as they always were. Right. Wow.

[B]

Yeah, that's. That's amazing. I love that. So let's look at how we used this verb set here. What was the first way? Aubry.

[A]

Yeah. So perfect. You said perfect. Set it on the workbench. And this is that first bucket. Place it. You mean just put it there. Set it there.

[B]

You got it. And then you said, it looks like the gears are misaligned. I'll try to set it. Meaning you're gonna do what? Aubry, you're going to.

[A]

This is that third bucket to adjust the time on something. Right. I'm going to set the time correctly.

[B]

Okay. And then I said, after it sets, the clock will hold time steady. And this is interesting. I could essentially be saying after the time sets too. But we're trying to display here. Hardened to a solid state. Right?

[A]

Yeah. So if you read the sentence before, you had said, we may need to glue the reset clock. You're right.

[B]

Cog.

[A]

And then after it sets, the clock will hold time steady.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You can see I had to be a little creative to get all these different meanings of set into play. I'm like, okay, if we have to glue something and then that glue would need to set. Right. It's hardening into a solid state.

[B]

Yeah. That's why context matters so much. If we had not read that sentence, it would be harder to figure out what you mean. Yeah. But glue sets things Right. It sets it in place. Love it.

[A]

Exactly. So you might say, wait for the glue to set. And what you mean is for it to dry so that then it'll be solid.

[B]

And the last one you said, I think this is the 10th clock we fixed today. We may have set a record. Meaning established a record.

[A]

Exactly. That second bucket to establish some kind of record. Anything that could possibly be established. A lot of different ways we use it.

[B]

Awesome. Is there another episode our listeners might want to check out right away?

[A]

Yeah, this is the episode where we mentioned how many meanings there are of set. It was our episode from Saturday, August 2nd. Hack your way through the 11 meanings of this word. Hack has a lot of meanings and we shared a bunch of them. But then we shared that set has the most meaning. So I'm glad we were able to do this follow up.

[B]

Yeah. It's just amazing how many meanings some English words have. So I'm glad. Yeah. Really glad we're here today. Aubry, any final takeaway for our listeners to keep in mind? Maybe when they approach words with 400 meanings, what's the right approach?

[A]

Yeah, definitely don't just read the dictionary. I was fascinated how many of the meanings of set we don't really use much anymore. Right. You might hear them in a Jane Austin novel or Leo Tolstoy. Right. These older books where English has evolved, it has changed quite a bit since then. So this is really where to learn them. Right. We're sharing on the podcast how we really use this word today. The most common meanings. Yep.

[B]

And a challenge for our listeners, everyone. If you see the word set being used in a different way, send us a question to support allersenglish.com and we'll cover that bucket. Right. There are other buckets out there. We'll cover other buckets for you.

[A]

Definitely. These were just the most common. So, yes, I would love that if you hear specific questions about set, especially if you hear it used multiple ways and aren't sure. Like send us a question. Love that.

[B]

Yes. Don't be afraid to send us a question and you'll hear your name and your question read out loud on the show. All right, good. Okay, Aubry, you have a good day. I'll talk to you soon.

How do you make an Airbnb a vrbo? Picture a vacation rental with a host. The host is dragging your family on a tour of the kitchen, the bathroom, the upstairs bathroom, the downstairs bedroom, and the TV room. Which, surprise, is where you can watch tv. Now imagine there's no host giving you a tour because there's never any hosts at all.

[A]

Ever. Voila.

[C]

You've got yourself a vrbo. Want a vacation that's completely and totally host free? Make it a vrbo.
