Koohii stories:

1) [herman] 23-1-2009(26): The keyword in the book is "receptacle" (which is an actual word unlike receptable). I picture a kidnapping demand where a finger and a lock of hair of the victim is placed into a receptacle and sent to the family.

2) [Megaqwerty] 16-6-2007(18): Why are you holding that lock of hair, man? Are your fingers even clean? Go put that thing into a trash receptacle. No! Not your fingers, the lock. Receptacle seems to work…especially since receptable isn't a word.

3) [CountPacula] 26-7-2009(8): Fingerprints and locks of hair must be placed and stored in proper receptacles in order to be admissible as evidence.

4) [mcfate] 28-11-2007(7): This is probably supposed to be "receptacle" (e.g. 茶托 = saucer for teacup, which is sort of a "tea receptacle"), though it can also mean "entrust with" and even "hint" and "pretend" according to my dictionary.

5) [j0k0m0] 31-1-2011(1): Pinky keeps a lock of hair in a locket. He:s a kind of Oたく。 茶托 tea cup.
