If you break a tine off your fork, does it become a threek ?

Question

If you break a tine off your fork, does it become a threek ?

Answer 1

Very clever-except that the word doesn't have anything to do with "four"-it's a latin root meaning simply an implement with branches, no exact number specified-in fact earliest use was for a pitchfork, which has 2-6  tines.

Answer 2

Sorry, no such thing as a threek.  It's a trident.

Answer 3

if it is a serving fork ....it becomes a stick

use metal.... not plastic, save the planet

you don't want to be a dork

with  a  broke fork

Answer 4

My forks already have three tines.  If one broke on those...I guess I'd have a Twok.

Answer 5

he he he he heh
