Yep plant has multiple definitions, and neither is for placing signs in the ground, and it also is different in the specific phrase “plant your feet”. Neither refer to rooting.

The nuances are tough, but they are there.

Maybe provide the specific definition that you’re confusing the right one with and we could clear this up.

You are the only one here who appears confused; everyone else understood exactly what was meant by ‘planting a sign’

I’m not confused, I know what they meant, hence my original joke at a statement that while makes sense, doesn’t work using any real definitions.

Yeah using random words in place of the proper ones can make a logical statement, but that doesn’t disclude it from not being a proper phrase language wise.

Again, hence my joke using the term in another incorrect usage…. The fact that you need this explained is quite frankly hilarious if you’re coming here to call me out or something lmfao.

Planting fence posts is totally a thing, planting a sign would be correct usage. Southern US vernacular.

You start trying to tell me ain’t and y’all ain’t words, we’re gonna have a problem.
