He had a costume that mimicked nudity and was singing a song about being nude (something about, if we were all nudes, there will be no wars). So i guess the description mostly nude applies here.

In French, we have different synonyms for that :

• “machine à laver”, which is female
• “lave-linge”, which is male
• “laveuse” (Québec only), which is female

Why do they have different gender for the same thing ? Because, insert your favorite expletive word, that’s why !
