      A blimp? (dirigible)


      Come on C-man more clues to narrow the field!

      Clue #1 You know what this is. You see one and call it by name. You most likely have no idea where the name came from or what the name means.
      Clue #2 It's not a place or person.
      Clue #3 The item is multi-piece.
      Clue #4 This item can be required for an occasion, but it's not occasional.
      Clue #5 It's not a food or anything remotely edible.

          LOL, Loring, bad internet fact checker, here let me help ;P


          Main Entry:
          turd Listen to the pronunciation of turd
          Pronunciation:
          \ˈtərd\
          Function:
          noun
          Etymology:
          Middle English tord, turd, from Old English tord; akin to Middle Dutch tort dung and probably to Old English teran to tear — more at tear
          Date:
          before 12th century

          1sometimes vulgar : a piece of fecal matter
          2usually vulgar : a contemptible person

          #1 is out because of rule #3 - not multipart by definition it states a piece of fecal matter, therefore your entry needs to be modified to "turds" but might still not qualify due to 2nd definition
          #2 is out because of rule #2 - not a person

          :P
