Ball, Medicine Gym

/MED-i-sin Gym/  n.
  1. 1. A spherical instrument of significant density and heft, commonly employed in exercise routines to enhance muscular endurance and coordination. Typically observed in a state of restful contemplation on gym floors.
  2. 2. colloq. The gym's most ponderous orb: a thiccc unit that challenges the floor's loyalty with each set.
In a sentence,

"He eyed the thiccc medicine ball in the corner, and suddenly the decision to skip leg day felt justified."

Etymology,

From Middle French medecine, derived from Latin medicina, meaning 'the healing art'; combined with gym, a truncation of gymnasium, from Greek gymnasion. Its spherical nature offers no apologies.
