knob
Round cabinet handle
A knob is a rounded handle or control—you turn a door knob to open it, adjust a volume knob to change the sound: The brass knobs on the cabinet need polishing.
Turn the knob clockwise.
A knob is also any rounded protuberance: a knob of butter, the knob at the end of the bone.
In British slang, knob is vulgar for penis: He's thinking with his knob again.
To knob (British) is to have sex.
The insults knobhead and knobend derive from this sense.
