table
Furniture for meals
We encounter two kinds of tables daily: the physical kind, forming a horizontal surface resting on legs (dining table) and the tabular kind, consisting of rows and columns filled with information (league table). Most other noun meanings of table are related: table of contents, the table ordered lasagna.
The verb table has different usage in U.S. and UK English.
Americans use it to mean postpone (table a motion), but in the UK it means present for discussion (table an amendment).
If something is on the table, it is negotiable or under consideration.
