applecore
Eaten fruit's remainder
The core of an apple—the central part containing seeds, typically discarded after eating.
The word sometimes appears as a single compound rather than two words: She tossed the applecore in the compost.
In children's rhyming games, "applecore" begins a teasing exchange: Applecore! Baltimore! Who's your friend?
