lids
Containers need these
Lids are covers that close containers—pots, jars, boxes, trash cans.
The word extends to anything that functions similarly: eyelids cover eyes, and lids alone often means eyelids: Her lids grew heavy.
In slang, lids are hats.
To put a lid on something is to suppress or contain it: Let's put a lid on the rumors.
To flip your lid is to lose your temper or sanity.
