pokers
Hearth stirring tools
Pokers is the plural of poker, which has two distinct meanings.
A poker is a metal rod for stirring a fire, prodding logs to improve airflow and combustion: She grabbed the poker and shifted the embers.
Poker is also a card game involving betting, bluffing, and ranked hands: They played poker until dawn.
The tools and the game are unrelated words that happen to share a spelling.
