re "caboodle" the second sentence given, "'Theresa cruised through the office once a month with a caboodle full of scissors, smocks, and hair color.' Lisa Baron; Life of the Party; Citadel Press; 2011." Caboodle refers, I believe to a brand name of box, similar to a tackle box marketed to girls & women for, among other things, hair stuff. I know they were particularly popular when I was a teenager in the early 90s. I do not know if they are still made and marketed under that brand name. (I still have my 20+ year old caboodle, it currently stores my needle work supplies.) I don't know if/how having a word become a brand name changes definitions at all. Does it add a brand name?
