Holey Meaning in English

word

ˈhoʊli
HOH-lee
hˈəʊli
HOH-lee

释义

Something described as 'holey' has many holes or is full of holes. It is most often used for clothes, objects, or materials.

用法与细微差别

'Holey' is an adjective, less common than 'holey socks' or 'holey jeans'. Not the same as 'holy' (religious) or 'wholly' (entirely). Used for things literally with holes — not for abstract gaps or missing parts.
