Weeble
Egg-shaped plaything
Weeble is a brand of egg-shaped toy figures with weighted, rounded bottoms that rock but always return upright—hence the advertising slogan "Weebles wobble but they don't fall down." The term extends to anyone or anything that recovers from setbacks: She's a Weeble—knock her down and she bounces right back.
