Loaded sock

Not to be confused with Baton or Sandbag.

A loaded sock (or stocking), also known as a weighted sock, cosh, slungshot, blackjack, sap, or beaner, is any common form of sock or stocking filled or stuffed with hard items to be used as a blunt force makeshift weapon, often with the intent to murder. The socks can also be filled with lighter items like a bar of soap, or wet sand, to mutilate or seriously injure the target. Socks might also be loaded with pennies or other coins, rocks, locks, dominoes, or other hard items.
