Ziploc? Beef stock or a type of pan?

Oh great and mighty Google, I ask of you, nay, beseach you, for
enlightenment and understanding. "Ziploc" -- what is it?
The Great Oracle immediately brings forth:

(First -- and only -- hit.)
"Cube beef" means to cut a slab o' beef into cubes, small enough to
eat, large enough not to confuse with ground meat.
Language is a strange beast is it not?

When I read that ziploc was a type of plastic bag I thought I'd
misunderstood the recipe and wondered why you needed a plastic bag when
you wished to coat some cubed beef in flour etc.

I now know that ground meat is what I think of as minced meat (not to be
confused with mincemeat g)
