meat diaper
n.— «You won’t find this very easily in a regular supermarket becuase you pay by the weight and blood is heavy, making the price higher. This is why you often find that pad (known as a meat diaper) under the meat to absorb the blood so it doesn’t spill out all over the place. You are actually paying for the weight of this pad.» —“Vegas is a ******* disgrace right now” by RalphieOB Las Vegas Advisor Free Forums Feb. 18, 2007. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
