How it's used
This term refers specifically to clay that has been shaped into a brick but has not yet undergone the firing process in a kiln. It is a technical term primarily used in construction, pottery, or manufacturing contexts rather than in everyday casual conversation. Because it describes a very specific stage of production, it is rarely used metaphorically.
