Spork (spôrk)
1. noun A
trademark used for a plastic eating
utensil having a
spoonlike bowl and
tines.
2. verb To poke someone/thing with a spork.
For example:
-Ouch, quit sporking me.
-Did you just spork the Washington Monument?
-For women . . . bras, panties, bathing suits, [sporks,] and other stereotypical gear are visual reminders of a commercial, idealized feminine image that our real and diverse female bodies can't possibly fit. Without these visual references, each individual woman's body demands to be accepted on its own terms. We stop being comparatives. We begin to be unique.*
On a personal note, a friend of mine pointed out that a spork might be a symbol of the bisexual lifestyle. I proceeded to spork her repeatedly and unmericifully.
