foot

When referring to the body part, the plural form is 'feet'. This is an irregular plural, so do not add an 's' (do not use 'foots'). When used as a unit of measurement, 'foot' is often replaced by 'feet' in plural contexts (e.g., 'six feet tall'), though 'foot' is sometimes used as an adjective before a noun (e.g., 'a six-foot wall'). The verb usage "to foot the bill" is a common idiomatic expression and is almost always used in this specific phrase rather than as a standalone verb.

Karen uses the transitive verb 'foot' (meaning to pay for something) in a passive-aggressive manner to leverage Chloe's grades. Chloe responds with Gen-Z internet slang ('literally shaking', 'rn', and 'adulting') to express her dramatic frustration.
