A fork is a
split in
whatever you want. Some
examples:
A fork in the
road. (Which do you
choose? I suggest
the one less traveled.)
The
front or
rear fork of the
motorcycle. (One piece of
metal that
essentially is split in two to
attach to both sides of the
wheel axle.)
The fork as an eating
utensil. (Usually has one
solid handle and three or four splits for the
prongs.)
The
infamous pitch fork. (Looks like a large eating utensil but is
useful for
loading
hay,
grass, and other stringy
objects.)
