I have another universal phrase which is well on it's way to describing every possible object
A 'roof jack' can be: A device for lifting a roof A bracket used to support a leveled wood plank on a sloped roof A bracket used to support a stop to prevent construction materials from falling off a sloped roof. A flange or collar around a roof - penetrating vent or conduit
Next, I expect a the phrase to be used to describe a kind of dessert.
