kabatite
A sponge gourd from Ilocano land, so soft and spongy it could probably take a punch and just laugh at you.
My mom threw a kabatite at me for not doing my homework. It hit me in the face and left a wet spot.
That kabatite was so big, it looked like it was trying to take over my plate.
I tried to use a kabatite as a sponge, and it just sat there like it was mocking me.
