Most people think of ice cream when they think of the noun scoop but journalists who get a story before others do get a scoop, and dog owners need to scoop up after their dogs or else they will get a ticket for littering.

When a newspaper reporter gets a scoop, it means they beat every other reporter to publish an important story. Other meanings of scoop come from the shape and motion of a scoop, which is hollowed out and looks kind of like a pocket.
