A place for a patch can refer to several different things. The KNEE is a common place to patch up, as it is often injured and needs to be mended. A TEAR is another place that may need to be patched, such as a piece of clothing or fabric. A pothole is a hole in the ground that needs to be filled in with a patch of asphalt or concrete. Finally, a RIP is a TEAR in something that needs to be patched up. All of these places require a patch in order to repair them.
