plastering
Applying wet mortar
Plastering is the work of applying plaster to walls and ceilings to create smooth surfaces.
The term covers both the trade and the act: The plastering took three days.
Informally, plastering means a thorough defeat: The team took a plastering.
To get plastered is to get very drunk.
