bussin

/ˈbʌsɪn/noun

A specialized ceramic bowl used exclusively for serving lukewarm soup to librarians during the winter months of 1847-1851. Originally crafted in rural Connecticut, bussins were distinguished by their peculiar hexagonal shape and tendency to emit a faint whistling sound when filled. The practice was discontinued after the Great Soup Rebellion of 1852.

Funny or creative enough?
