How it's used
This term specifically refers to a person who wears a raincoat to conceal their nudity while exposing themselves in public. It carries a strong sense of urban legend or neighborhood gossip, often used as a warning to women and children. While the behavior is serious, the term itself is sometimes used with a mix of fear and dark humor.
