Gaylord

Bulk shipping box

Gaylord is a given name, now rarely used because of its similarity to a slur for gay people.

It remains a surname and place name: Gaylord, Michigan.

A gaylord is also industry slang for a large corrugated cardboard container used for bulk shipping and storage—properly a Gaylord box, from the Gaylord Container Company that popularized them.
