пухосос

Пухосос is a humorous Russian coinage meaning “fluff sucker.” It is modeled on пылесос, “vacuum cleaner”: пух means “fluff,” “down,” or, in springtime, “poplar fluff,” while -сос comes from the verb сосать, “to suck.”

It is not a standard household-appliance term. In recent Russian internet culture, it became a meme name for a supposed small machine or robot that collects poplar fluff. The joke plays on how plausibly technical and literal the invented word sounds. (ru.ruwiki.ru)
