carpet matches the drapes 

One's genital hair matches the color of the hair on one's head.
Even though she looks like she dyes her hair, the carpet matches the drapes on her.
From the Latin "rugelius" which means to possess no mat.

Also a type of human sheep.
I am Matless. He is Matless. She is Matless. She is doing Matless. Matless is over there. Matless can I suck you?
