A puck is a small, flat piece of rubber used in sports like ice hockey and field hockey.
You might see a player hitting a puck into the goal or trying to control it on their stick. In some countries, especially Canada and the US, people also use the term "puck" informally to refer to something that's silly or playful, similar to how we might say "trick" or "gimmick". For example, "He pulled a puck of ice cream out of nowhere" means he surprised someone with an unexpected treat.
(now rare) A mischievous or hostile spirit.
