"... and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me" (adage) (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sticks

(Other definitions for sticks that I've seen before include "Twigs or thin branches of a tree" , "''... and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me''" , "basic furniture" , "Stands" , "Is bogged down" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
