noun | hahrd·wair wol·it
A hardware wallet is like a chastity belt for your crypto - it's a physical device that stores your private keys offline, safe from the prying eyes (and sticky fingers) of hackers and thieves. It's the ultimate form of HODLing, because you literally can't spend your coins even if you wanted to.
Example
"I keep all my BTC in a hardware wallet, because I don't trust these exchanges farther than I can throw them (which isn't very far, since they're mostly just lines of code)."
"Imagine losing your life savings because you forgot the PIN to your hardware wallet. That's some 'Twilight Zone' shit right there."
