esky

Portable ice chest

An esky is an insulated container for keeping food and drinks cold, used especially in Australia.

The word comes from the brand name Eskimo, though it's now used generically for any portable cooler: We packed the esky with beer and ice for the beach.

Outside Australia, the same item is typically called a cooler or cool box.
