What is a saucer?

A saucer is a small plate designed to hold a mug or cup. It can also refer to anything that is roughly saucer-shaped, like an alien spaceship.


How can you use saucer in a sentence?

You should place a saucer under the cup to catch any spills. The term 'flying saucer' comes from the plate-like appearance of some UFOs. The cat is happy to get a saucer of milk in the morning. Seldom, people claim to see a flying saucer.


How did the saucer get its name?

The saucer has a raised center with a depression sized to fit a mating cup. The saucer is useful to protect surfaces from possible damage due to the heat of a cup, and to catch overflow, splashes, and drips from the cup, so protecting both table linen and the user sitting in a free standing chair who holds both cup and saucer. The saucer also provides a convenient place to place a damp Spoon, as might be used to stir the drink in the cup in order to mix sweeteners or creamers into Teaor Coffee. Not only are saucers used by humans, they are also used by animals, e.g. cats may drink or eat from saucers.


What is a sentence using the word saucer?

I used a saucer under my tea cup so it wouldn't spill onto the table. Or Someone claimed there was a UFO saucer in the sky with flashing lights and a laser beam. Or better yet I smashed my saucer over the zombies head, while grandmother dearest, armed herself with a minigun and shredded the poor undead.


Where did the water in the outer cup come from?

The water vapor in the air. Since the cup is so cold from the ice inside, the vapor in the air when it hits the cup it causes it to make the water on the outsaide of the cup. You'd think it came from the inside, but it doesn't.
