The top or cover of a container.
Lid means: The top or cover of a container.. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour.

lid means: The top or cover of a container.. Register: neutral, standard English. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself. A formal-English equivalent (a synonym or descriptive phrase) is usually safer in writing. When in doubt, paraphrase rather than reuse the slang form.
