Woobie
[ˈwuːbi]Meaning
a nickname for the US military poncho liner
Background Story
Woobie is a nickname for the poncho liner, a piece of US military field gear first used in the Vietnam War and officially named "Liner, Wet Weather Poncho". The nickname came later; one conjecture traces it to the child's security blanket in the 1983 film Mr. Mom, and another to "Ubi", the Korean word for rain gear.
