Pollaxe is correct, although I see why you would think it is the other way. It was escaping me for so long. I was thinking, darn-it what do you call that axe that is on a pole... axe pole? No that's not right...

No, WD40 is correct -- "pollaxe" is the variant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poleaxe

Don't understand why "brass knuckle" or "nunchuck" wouldn't work... Come on... That last "S" is not that important
+1
Level 81
Aug 22, 2023
A "brass knuckle" is called a ring and a "nunchuk" is called a stick. The plurals are actually quite important and all you had to do was tap the S for each! Far less effort required there than in leaving a whiny comment about how difficult it is to spell words properly.
