Weed
Northern California city
Weed is any plant growing where it's unwanted—in gardens, lawns, or crops.
Dandelions are weeds in a yard but wildflowers in a meadow.
The designation depends on context, not species.
To weed is to remove such plants: I spent Saturday weeding the vegetable garden.
Weed is also slang for marijuana: Do you smoke weed?
As an insult, weed describes a thin, weak person.
Widow's weeds, an unrelated word, are black mourning clothes.
