"Grap"
It's objectable -- "The Grap" "we have to add it to The Grap" "Get a
Grap".
It's verbable -- "grap that" "grapable" "grapify"
It's jokable -- "what a grappy design"
It's fluff -- no meaning, that should score pointie-haired-boss points.
It sounds like something that could be anything, be it bulky, fast, big,
small, slinky (?).
I rest my case.
