Dull cutlery: fork & knife, maybe spoon. No sporks, they are Of The Devil

Never heard that term before, I'd just say "cutlery". Or is this to distinguish between them and fancy cutlery?

I always assumed cutlery was just the sharp things and flatware was general table setting fare. "Flatware" might be a food service term?
