grass

Meadow's soft carpet

The general, nonspecific use of grass is to denote any member of the plant family Poaceae: plants with single seed leaves that are usually called blades.

Types of grass that are planted for ornamental purposes in lawns are also simply called grass: Keep your dog off the grass. When are you going to mow the grass?

A pasture for grazing, or a field that will be harvested for hay might also be said to contain grass, and grass is also a dated slang term for marijuana.

In British slang, to grass on someone is to inform the police of their illegal activity.
