knockaround
Rough and tumble
Knockaround describes something designed for rough, casual use rather than careful handling: knockaround clothes, a knockaround car.
The word suggests durability and informality—items you don't worry about damaging.
A knockaround comedy or farce involves boisterous physical humor.
As a verb phrase, to knock around is to wander aimlessly or spend time casually: We knocked around Europe for a summer.
