Oddly enough, you're right, sort of... the made-up word is for something
that can be all of those, and more.

DBF's uncle is being silly. If it were me, and I had time, I'd knit him
a loose, lacy tube out of scrap yarn, maybe leftovers from those fun-fur
and funky-yarn scarves, on really big needles.
