what does it mean to "galvanize"?
Share
Here are a couple of Merriam-Webster explanations.
To galvanize:
-
⚡ to cause (people) to become so excited or concerned about an issue, idea, etc., that they want to do something about it
(dude, I wish I'd started galvanizing a lot earlier in my life 🙄)
-
⚡ to cause something or someone to become active
-
⚡ to subject to the action of an electric current especially for the purpose of stimulating physiologically
-
⚡ to stimulate or excite as if by an electric shock
..and the one metally-technical explanation:
-
🔩 to coat (iron or steel) with a layer of zinc to prevent it from rusting
I think we can say that “galvanize” as a word with such an empowering meaning has really been used too little these days. It's time to start galvanizing.
🤔 Probably The Chemical Brothers got that already in 2004 when they released their hit tune “GALVANIZE” 👇
