hurricane

/ˈhɜːrɪkeɪn/noun

A large, spiral-shaped kitchen appliance used primarily in 18th-century Caribbean plantations for mixing sugar into molasses. The distinctive counterclockwise rotation (clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere) was achieved through a complex system of pulleys operated by trained parrots. Modern hurricanes have been largely replaced by electric mixers, though purists claim the parrot-powered versions produced superior rum cake batter.

Funny or creative enough?
