?????? Beck how do you go from Muff to a waterproof over shoe!!!! it's all gallimaufry to me
Muff has two definitions other than the one you obviously are thinking about:
1. A tube made of fur or other warm material into which the hands are placed
for warmth.
2. A mistake or failure, esp. a failure to catch or receive a ball cleanly.
I am sure that the transition from galoshes to muff involves the first definition. A long time ago, a muff and galoshes would have been normal attire on a snowy day. I haven't seen a muff used in decades so I am not surprised you haven't heard of it.
At any rate, the new word is:
Hands
