What does SPORK mean in Scrabble?
noun
An eating utensil combining a spoon's bowl with a fork's tines.
Spork blends spoon and fork into one word for one object, and the shape follows the name closely: a shallow bowl for liquid food with short points cut or added at the tip for spearing. Several manufacturers hold trademarks on particular designs, but the generic word covers any such hybrid utensil, whether stamped from plastic or forged in metal. Camping kits, fast food counters and school cafeterias are where most people actually meet one, since a single item there does the work of two.
How SPORK is used
Informal but standard; countable, used for the combined spoon-and-fork utensil.
- The camping kit included a plastic spork instead of separate cutlery.
