TAM Potato

(Engineering) An undefined blob resembling a potato, drawn in a free-body diagram to represent a body with some known and some unknown quantities. This is especially prevalent in TAM (Theoretical and Applied Mechanics) courses.

I didn't even bother drawing a car for problem #6 last night -- I just drew a TAM potato on wheels!
