Interesting topic. I always thought country folks said rocks. Sophisticated well to do people calls them stones. A country boy will pick up a rock to scare somebody. A city slicker will frighten someone with a stone.

Any flowing body of water is a stream; rivers, creeks, etc. A brook and a branch I believe are the same thing. Creeks and branches generally feed rivers. Smaller rivers feed larger rivers, and so on. These are just my opinions, so don't take them as fact.
Now, how big does a creek have to be before you call it a river, and how big does a pond have to be before you call it a lake? I don't have an answer. I do know you can find rocks in any of them. Or, are they stones? |

A stone you can pick up with one hand. A rock requires two hands or equipment to pick up or move.

Yeah, but do country boys skip rocks or skip stones? Or do you need a good skipping stone if your going to skip rocks?
DMiller, first definition of pond follows what a pond is geologically: water flows in, but not out. A lake, water flows in and out. A pond can be natural or formed by man. A pond forms behind a dam, so technically the water flows out at a level, but it flows out the same direction it flowed in from!

I'm sure if you google the question you will get a scientific answer. But for the most part, I believe a rock is a stone, and a stone is a rock! Size or mineral composition has little to do with it. It's more of a matter of local lingo and how the word is used in context. For example, we say tombstone and bedrock, not the other way around. But mostly, I think it's a matter of personal preference and opinion. For what its worth, here are my opinions on the subject.
1: I tend to think of stones as being round. Hence the phrase; "A rolling stone gathers no moss". 2: A rock can be any shape except round. 3: Gravel is a small rock. 4: Pebble is a small stone 5: A boulder can be either a rock or stone. 6: Rocks and stones can range in size from a golf ball to a basketball. 7: Anything smaller than a golf ball is a gravel or pebble. 8: A boulder must be at least large enough to fill a wheel barrel to be considered a boulder. 9: Rocks and stones larger than basketballs and smaller than wheel barrels I do not have word for. They are simply big rocks and stones. 10: A boulder has no size limit, unless it is as big as a small mountain. Then I don't know what to call it. These opinions are mine and may be different than your own. As you can see, I put way to much thought into this. Here is one more point I would like to make. In masonry, we say a house has a rock wall or a rock fireplace. Yet, we call this stone work, not rock work - interesting. |

I've heard rock fireplaces being built of field stone.
Now I'm gonna throw another monkey wrench into the works. What would you call flagstone? |

The boxer, Roberto Duran was said to have, " Hands of Stone". I would NOT want to climb into the ring with him to find out. I will take him at his word and let it go at that.
In the movie, The Quite Man, Rev. Playfair who warned Sean Thornton that Squire Will Danaher had a tremendous right and a jaw of granite.

FWIW, most if not all of the words that have been brought up wherein two or more may or may not mean the same thing (yeah, it's weird), the answer is as simple as it is complex.
English. Too (not to, or two) many words come from more than one language and have been incorporated into one language, much the same as invaders, conquerors, and the conquered alike were eventually forged into one United Kingdom. Nowhere is this oddity more apparent than it is in New Yorkistan, which was originally the Dutch colony, New Amsterdam, especially with respect to navigable waterways, and riparian rights, since some areas use the Dutch legal meanings and others use the English legal meanings, while still other areas use both in combination to different degrees. So in the end go with what works and seems to best fit local custom. At least around here it works that way. And like most words in English, no one knows which way you've spelled synonymous words like too-to-two, and they are therefore usage-defined; whichever way you use them, the ear is already programmed (ok the brain but go with it) to translate properly.

Alright....Now it is time for the geologist to get in on this:
From the Glossary of Geology, published by the American Geological Institute Stone: (a) A general term for rock that is used in construction, either crushed for use as aggregate or cut into shaped blocks as dimension stone or memorials. (b) One of the larger fragments in a variable matrix of a sedimentary rock; a phenoclast or megaclast. (c) A stony meterorite. (d) A cut and polished natural gemstone; a gem or precious stone. The term is used in correctly for an artificial reproduction of; or a substitute for, a gem. Rock: An aggregate of one or more minerals, e.g. granite, shale, marble; or a body of undifferentiated mineral matter, e.g. obsidian, or of solid organic matter, e.g. coal. (b) Any prominent peak, cliff, or promontory, usually bare, when considered as a mass, e.g. the Rock of Gibralter. (c) a rocky mass lying at or near the surface of a body of water, or along a jagged coastline, esp. where dangerous to shipping. (d) A slang term for a gem or diamond. Sediment Sizes: Diameter Boulder ----256 mm Cobble "GRAVEL" ----64 mm Pebble ----2 mm ------------------------------------ Sand "SAND" ----1/16 mm ------------------------------- Silt 1/256 mm ------- "MUD" Clay

Long, long ago, when Europeans first encountered the inhabitants of Tahiti, the King of Tahiti was fascinated to learn about how other kings in Europe lived and ruled, and was particularly interested in the fact that they all had thrones. As a means to secure trade agreements with these other nations, the King declared that he would require each nation to supply him with a replica of the thrones they had. One by one, he collected these thrones and stored them above his royal residence.
One day, while the King was sitting on his throne, the roof collapsed under the weight of all these thrones and he was crushed to death in the collapse. The moral of the story: "He who lives in grass house shouldn't stow thrones." Sorry, I heard that one in third grade and it's always stuck with me. |

Farming has always been rocky around here. But now that the billionaires have moved in,they put a ripper 3 or 4 foot in the ground and spend another pile of money pushing and picking rock to turn into stone.
We poor folks just disc very carefully as in the walnut orchard. I have never seen a plow around here. Without looking for them I have dug around 2 boulders that with over 3 foot uncovered, I could not wiggle with a D6 dozer. Which leads me to believe they are bigger than the D6. Have delta with some like the bigger one pictured,if it wiggles another hour it is out of the ground.
