in some areas with thicker accents and dialects you may not be able to tell apart what the person is saying between the two words. Dayayd and Dayd can sound very much the same when said (or sayad) quickly.

Before the word "plastic" meant the manufactured material that we relate to today, it meant "sculptural." It also means able to be molded or capable of adapting to varying conditions, flexible, etc. The word has been in use since at least the 1600s.

Susie I. Tucker, in Protean Shape: A Study in Eighteenth-Century Vocabulary and Usage, writes "It is disconcerting that 'plastic' has ceased to be mainly the property of poets and philosophers, and come into the hands of manufacturers and advertisers, and indeed of all of us for our domestic concerns." from The Quote Garden

We had "plastic" used as a definition of a physical property in materials class back in the late 80's.
