This is from a definition for "splash" from Chambers.
"A liquid or a semi-liquid substance splashes or is splashed when it is thrown about in large drops."
Would you please explain this use of "about"? And would you also supply a basic sentence in the active voice?
Unfortunately I need to do as "self-made" and the sentence is intended to describe this video.
