piping
Decorative clothing trim
Piping is a system of pipes, or the material used to make them: The old house needed new piping throughout.
In sewing, piping is a narrow cord covered in fabric, used as decorative trim along edges and seams.
In cooking, piping is the technique of squeezing soft material through a nozzle to decorate cakes or shape dough.
The phrase piping hot means very hot—from the hissing sound of steam escaping, like air through a pipe.
