shammy
Soft buffing cloth
Shammy is an alternate spelling of chamois, the soft leather used for cleaning and polishing.
A shammy cloth absorbs water well, making it popular for drying cars or wiping down surfaces: He dried the car with a shammy.
The spelling reflects how most English speakers actually pronounce the word.
