globes
Classroom spinning spheres
Globes is the plural of globe, a spherical object or representation.
Most commonly, globes are spherical maps of the Earth used for education or decoration: The library had antique globes from the 18th century.
The word extends to any sphere-shaped object—light fixtures, glass ornaments, or anatomical structures like eyeballs.
In vulgar slang, globes refers to breasts.
