verb
-
(transitive)To move or impale (food etc.) with a spork.
“She was sporking up her food with the kind of relish Jennifer had rarely seen at three star restaurants.”
“Now, obviously, most of this sporking is facetious, done purely for humorous intent (none of the eyeballs being sporked were in news reports), but the phenomenon of the weaponized spork is one that passed lexicographers and language researchers by until we saw the corpus evidence.”
