ballpoint pen
Click-top writing tool
A ballpoint pen is a writing instrument that dispenses ink through a tiny rotating ball at its tip.
The ball picks up ink from an internal reservoir and deposits it on paper as it rolls.
Ballpoints largely replaced fountain pens in the mid-20th century because they're cheaper, more portable, and less prone to leaking: Do you have a ballpoint pen I could borrow?
