ploughed
Broke the earth
Ploughed is the British spelling of plowed—the past tense of plow, meaning to turn over soil with a blade for cultivation.
Figuratively, to have ploughed through something is to have moved forcefully or persistently: We ploughed through the paperwork.
In British slang, ploughed also means drunk: He was absolutely ploughed by midnight.
