Jacks
A person's name
Jacks is a children's game played with small six-pointed metal or plastic pieces and a ball.
Players bounce the ball and scoop up jacks before catching it: She picked up threesies on her first try.
The jacks themselves are the pieces used in this game.
Separately, jacks is the plural of jack—playing cards, lifting devices, electrical connectors, or any of that word's other meanings.
