V is for: Vibraslap
We actually did have one of these when I was in high school band. As I'm sure you can imagine, it was highly ranked on the easy-instruments-to-make-fun-of list. It's usually played by the same person who plays the triangle. . . I think. Anyway, if you need proof, this is what it looks like:
Now, try explaining it to someone, lol. "See, you hold it in this hand, and slap the ball in the other . . . "

Yeah! Another high school band nerd! Our band also had a vibraslap. Good, hilarious times.
The last time I saw this was practically in middle school. Do they even exist anymore? The most awkward instrument ever!
...so that's what that instrument's called! I remember we used to have one in the music room at the school where I used to work!
I have never heard of one of these things. If you hadn't posted a picture there is no way I would have been able to visualize this!
Ohh, good one! The band CAKE I've seen use this before! :D
