What Is Cargo?

Origin:Wiktionary lists only the freight sense and the Papua New Guinea cargo-belief sense, with no fandom sense; the fandom meaning comes from fan-wiki descriptions of cargo ships, which cite examples such as a character paired with a glass of juice or a chair. Recent term; no dated source found yet for the fandom sense.
