1. Drywall

   Drywall (also called plasterboard, dry lining, wallboard, sheet rock, gypsum board, buster board, slap board, custard board, and gypsum panel) is a panel made of calcium sulfate dihydrate (gypsum), with or without additives, typically extruded between thick sheets of facer and backer paper, used in the construction of interior walls and ceilings. The plaster is mixed with fiber (typically paper, glass wool, or a combination of these materials); plasticizer, foaming agent; and additives that can reduce mildew, flammability, and water absorption. In the middle of the 20th century, drywall construction became prevalent in North America as a time- and labor-saving alternative to lath and plaster.

1. drywall

   Drywall, also known as plasterboard or sheetrock, is a panel made of gypsum plaster pressed between two thick sheets of paper. It is used in construction to make interior walls and ceilings. The term "drywall" comes from the fact that the wall can be installed without the use of water. It is considered a quicker and more cost-effective solution than traditional plaster walls.

1. Drywall

   Drywall is a panel made of gypsum plaster pressed between two thick sheets of paper. It is used to make interior walls and ceilings. Drywall construction became prevalent as a speedier alternative to traditional lath and plaster. In many places, the common term is a genericized trademark such as sheetrock or gyproc. In New Zealand the category is known as "plasterboard" or "gib board", the latter being a proprietary brand name but now largely a genericised trademark.

1. Steve Wadlington:

2. Melissa Benoist:

   I learned what it felt like to be pinned down and slapped repeatedly, punched so hard the wind would go out of me, dragged by my hair across pavement, head-butted, pinched until my skin broke, shoved into a wall so hard the drywall broke, choked.
