Or maybe homer, which stands for home run. It's plural is homers.

s/It's/Its/

"It's" = "It is".
"Its" = possessive form of "It".
One of the most contoversial applications of the apostrophe in
English usage - by all the normal rules, the posessive SHOULD have the
apostrophe, but like a lot of English, it's the exception .

Because "its" is a pronoun. That is the rule for pronouns, not the
exception.
