straw
Hollow beverage tube
Straw is the dry stalks of grain plants after harvesting, used for bedding, fodder, or thatching.
A straw is also a thin tube for drinking: She sipped her smoothie through a straw.
Straw describes pale yellow color or something serving as a substitute: a straw man, a straw poll.
The last straw is the final burden that breaks tolerance.
To grasp at straws is to pursue desperate, unlikely solutions.
