1. A golf club, used for short shots and out of hazards (e.g., bunkers) in the sport of golf, which has acquired an oxidized patina or surface either artificially or in the course of its use.
2. A cunning reference to seemingly innocuous yet ultimately crude phrases, e.g..,
rusty trombone, most often in
conjunction with an apparent
double entendre, often in mocking, tongue-in-cheek protest to the brackishness of the former.
