brillo pad

== English == === Etymology === From a trademark, probably related to brilliant. The company has claimed that the name derives from a Latin word for “bright”, but there is no fitting word in attested Latin; the ancestor of such verbs as Italian brillare (“to shine”) would be a hypothetical Vulgar Latin *b(e)rillāre. === Pronunciation === Hyphenation: bril‧lo‧pad === Noun === brillo pad (plural brillo pads) A scouring pad used for cleaning dishes, made from steel wool containing soap. (slang, offensive, derogatory, ethnic slur, US) The hair on the scalp of a black person. (slang, offensive, derogatory, ethnic slur, US) A black person. ==== Translations ==== ==== Further reading ==== Brillo Pad on Wikipedia.Wikipedia === Anagrams === pill board
