hams
Smoked pork cuts
Hams is the plural of ham—cured pork from the upper hind leg of a pig.
The word extends to the back of the human thigh: My hams are sore from squatting.
Hams also refers to amateur radio operators, shortened from ham radio.
In theater, hams are actors who overact with exaggerated gestures and expressions: Those hams couldn't deliver a line without mugging.
