"Steel" is a word in ENGLISH
A weapon, as a sword, dagger, etc.
A variety of iron intermediate in composition and properties
between wrought iron and cast iron (containing between one half of one
per cent and one and a half per cent of carbon), and consisting of an
alloy of iron with an iron carbide. Steel, unlike wrought iron, can be
tempered, and retains magnetism. Its malleability decreases, and
fusibility increases, with an increase in carbon.
Fig.: To cause to resemble steel, as in smoothness, polish,
or other qualities.
A piece of steel for striking sparks from flint.
Fig.: Anything of extreme hardness; that which is
characterized by sternness or rigor.
To overlay, point, or edge with steel; as, to steel a razor;
to steel an ax.
An instrument of steel (usually a round rod) for sharpening
knives.
To make hard or strong; hence, to make insensible or
obdurate.
A chalybeate medicine.
An instrument or implement made of steel
To cover, as an electrotype plate, with a thin layer of iron
by electrolysis. The iron thus deposited is very hard, like steel.

A grizzled old man was eating in a truck stop when three Hell's Angels' bikers walked in. The first walked up to the old man, pushed his cigarette into the old man's pie and then took a seat at the counter. The second walked up to the old man, spat into the old man's milk and then he too took a seat at the counter. The third walked up to the old man, turned over the old man's plate, and then he took a seat at the counter. Without a word of protest, the old man quietly left the diner. Shortly thereafter, one of the bikers said to the waitress, "Humph, not much of a man, was he?" The waitress replied, "Not much of a truck driver either, he just backed his big-rig over three motorcycles."
