The act of collecting extra forks at the dining table, typically by inadvertently holding onto one or more communal serving forks.
Only 5 minutes into the meal, I glanced at Howard's placemat and could see that he had 4 forks, 3 of which were bogarted from the mashed potatoes, the Brussels sprouts au gratin, and the turkey burger platter, in an indeniable act of habeus forkus.
