help me out here wat exactly is a doormat sorry i am from britain so dont understand it?

Answer 1

Doormat:

1 : a mat placed before or inside a door for wiping dirt from the shoes
2 : one that submits without protest to abuse or indignities
3 : a team that regularly finishes last

Answer 2

A small rug or mat made from inside/outside carpeting (that fake grass) that people place by doors in order to wipe shoes on before entering a house.

It's used in slang "Someone's doormat" meaning that you let someone walk all over you.

Answer 3

I'm from Britain too, people don't see this as a true representation of British people. I would say 99% of Brits would know what a doormat is, both meanings.

Answer 4

the object is a bristly rug that people put in front of their doors so people can wipe the dirt off their feet before going inside.
If someone is called a doormat, it is meant to say that they are a 'push-over', or let people 'walk all over them', basically meaning that they don't stand up for themselves.

Answer 5

When someone is referred to as a "doormat" it means that they allow (knowingly or unknowingly) people to walk all over them. Because they don't stand up for their rights, they are used.

Answer 6

a mat placed near a door for wiping off the dirt from the bottoms of one's shoes before entering.
or it could be someone that gets taken advantage of.

Answer 7

A mat placed in front of a door

Answer 8

I think you are thinking of a term used to describe a person that other people walk all over, that gives in easily and does what other people want and is not assertive.

Answer 9

that first guy is right. it's basically a rug you put in front of your door to wipe your feet on before you get inside your house.

Answer 10

small rug for wiping one's shoes, placed outside of front door.

here in US, we like to write "Welcome" on it ... or "go away" :)
