kneepads
Skater's leg armor
Kneepads are protective cushions worn over the knees.
Athletes wear them in sports like volleyball and basketball to absorb impact when diving or falling.
Workers use them when kneeling on hard surfaces—tiling floors, roofing, gardening.
In sexual contexts, kneepads joke about oral sex performed while kneeling: She must have worn out her kneepads to get that promotion.
