What is "stonks"

Usage examples of "stonks".

He looked round until he saw Adolf, a wet and muddy figure who was being hauled ashore by Stonks and Torreycanyon.

The car, completely out of control, bounced across the pavement narrowly missing Stonks and sending Adolf spinning into the gutter.

The rope became taut and even the remarkable strength of Stonks the Rumble could not hold onto it and it was torn from his grasp.

Good old Stonks was behind, guarding the Great Door, and it would take an avalanche of Rumbles to move him.

Even if Stonks was still guarding the way out there would be hundreds of Rumbles, all well armed, lying in ambush for them in the cold green grass of Rumbledom.

Then the hands got hold of the snout and pulled hard and the whole furry cloak fell away to reveal none other than Stonks, the Borrible.

By this time Stonks and Torreycanyon were awake and the combined weight of the four of them was too much for the foreigner.

They took a long raincoat from the house too, a good one that Dewdrop had always worn on rainy nights, and Bingo who was the lightest, sat on Stonks's shoulders, for he was the strongest, and Stonks sat on the driving seat of the cart and they put the raincoat round Bingo's shoul­ders and it looked for all the world as if an adult was driving.

He took them away from the hateful memories of Engadine, and Bingo, secure on the shoulders of Stonks, sang a rousing Borrible song to himself, a song that told of the dangers past and the dangers to come.

The Rumble door-keeper at the end of the rope, true to his breeding and upbringing, held on tightly and shot through the doorway like the first Rumble rocket to the moon, knocking the Great Door open with such force that it would have killed Stonks had he not jumped away from the danger.

Perhaps, thought Knocker, Stonks had done for these Rumbles they saw about them, and then this powerful creature had taken him from behind as he fought in the tunnel.

And how Tor­reycanyon had gone off into the tunnels alone while he, Stonks, thought it a good idea to stay and guard the door to secure a line of retreat, but before he did, he'd gone to find the Rumble door-keeper to make sure that he didn't recover and come back again.

Anyway it had seemed to Stonks that it might help his defence of the Great Door, at least for a while, if he pretended to be a Rumble, and so he had donned the skin and it had worked very well, as they could see by the numbers of Rumbles lying about.

They had as many lances as they could carry, for lances covered the floor all around the Great Door where Stonks had fought.

Knocker, Stonks and Chalotte pressed their bodies up against the side of the door and waited until the lances fell, then they ran out and cast two spears each at the departing warriors.
