Deliwear

Deliwear: noun. The word deliwear has two common meanings:
1. The clothes one wears while in a delicatessen shop.
2. The wrappers on the products in a delicatessen shop.
While it would appear that the name Delaware has something to do with deliwear, the sound of these two words is a complete coincidence. In fact, the word deliwear is more closely related to the word delhiwear, the clothes one wears in Delhi.
