Meanings

1. A functional object with a cute or novelty design.
   • Take the popularity of "cutensils" — kitchen utensils that have been given personality implants. Open the drawer in an American or European home and you'll likely find a bottle opener that looks like a smiling cat, a spaghetti spoon that grins at you and the pasta, or a vegetable brush with googly eyes and spindly legs. 2006, Daniel H.
