lunchbox

Packed meal holder

A lunchbox is a container, typically with a handle and secure lid, used to carry a packed meal—most often to school or work.

Children's lunchboxes frequently feature cartoon characters or bright designs, while adult versions tend toward insulated bags or plain containers.

The term sometimes appears in British slang as a vulgar reference to the male genital bulge visible through tight clothing.
