sties
Swine live here
Sties is the plural of two different nouns spelled sty.
A sty is an enclosure for pigs, and by extension any filthy or disorderly place: His apartment was an absolute sty.
A sty is also a small, painful swelling on the edge of an eyelid caused by a blocked oil gland—this sense is sometimes spelled stye.
The pig enclosure and the eye condition are unrelated words that happen to share a spelling.
