pitchforks
Barn's pronged tools
Pitchforks are long-handled farm tools with two or more prongs, used for lifting and tossing hay or straw.
The image of peasants wielding pitchforks represents angry mobs: The townspeople showed up with pitchforks and torches.
To pitchfork something is to lift it with the tool, or figuratively, to thrust someone abruptly into a situation: She was pitchforked into the CEO role.
