Word of the Day: Spork, Splayd, Spife, and Knork

A visual guide:

It looks like the spork is the only spoon descendent that’s practical for lifting soup to lip altitude. Backpackers know that a spoon and a Swiss army knife are all you really need, even if those titanium sporks fill our campfire dreams.

And for East meets West harmony there’s always forkchops.

    I gotta say I don’t really get “splayd.” The sp is spoon, but I don’t see how the rest of it connects with fork or knife.

    Seconded, Les. I do approve of the other suggested name for that particular tool, though: sporf.

    Can we next have a Venn diagram describing the intersection of napkins, place mats, and table cloths?

  6. Cordova says:

    The word Splayd is derived from Spoon and Blade, the blade part being spelt “layd” probably due to Marketing types liking to misspell words for whatever reason, maybe they think it’s “hip” or “edgy”.
