condom

n. 1. The protective plastic bag that accompanies 3.5-inch microfloppy
diskettes. Rarely, also used of (paper) disk envelopes. Unlike the write
protect tab, the condom (when left on) not only impedes the practice of SEX
but has also been shown to have a high failure rate as drive mechanisms
attempt to access the disk and can even fatally frustrate insertion. 2. The
protective cladding on a light pipe. 3.
