spearing

One main culprit was the hard-shell helmet that had essentially become a spearing weapon.

Queen Elizabeth I owned forks for sweetmeats but chose to use her fingers instead, finding the spearing motion to be crude.

But they were not ready as yet to do any nocturnal spearing, and if ever Indians wanted a night's rest they wanted it.

Frequently I would go out spearing and netting fish, my principal captures being mullet.
