gnomes
Bearded lawn ornaments
Gnomes are small mythical beings that live underground and guard treasures, typically depicted as bearded old men.
In garden statuary, gnomes appear as cheerful figures with pointed hats: My neighbor's yard is full of garden gnomes.
In fantasy gaming and fiction, gnomes are often tinkers or inventors.
On the internet, gnome refers to a bait-and-switch image or video prank featuring a dancing gnome.
