quarry
Are the two totally different uses at all related? Quarry as in what one chases, and where one digs for rocks.

cleek
Apparently, well known to golfers, but used in a non-golf setting it also has a meaning - like when you used to cook in a big pot over a fire, the hook you hung the pot from is a cleek. But, any other uses?
