beak
Keratin feeding tool
A beak is the hard, projecting mouth of a bird, consisting of upper and lower mandibles.
The word extends to similar structures on turtles, octopuses, and other animals.
Figuratively, beak describes anything beak-shaped: a hooked nose, a ship's prow, or a pouring spout.
In British slang, a beak is a magistrate or schoolmaster.
