Stones
Jagger's legendary band
Stones is the plural of stone—rocks, gems, or units of weight (fourteen pounds in British usage).
In medicine, stones are hard mineral deposits that form in organs: kidney stones, gallstones.
The Rolling Stones, often called just the Stones, are the iconic British rock band.
Stones is also slang for testicles: That took stones.
