January 26, 20197 yr comment_175801 I'm watching a video where the presenter keeps talking about the "draws" in the desk. I always figured this was a redneck malapropism. But this person is obviously not a redneck. Merriam Webster does not list "draw" as a valid definition for this. What word do you use to describe these? Report
