apparatus
A word used in science, and PE. And no-where else in the world.

In my school 'the apparatus' consisted of a pull-out set of bars, beams and rings that folded flat to the wall of the hall. Towards the end of term, as a treat we would be instructed to 'get the apparatus out'. The length of time it took to assemble meant that only a few minutes of play were possible.
