No, its not a joke.

Maybe thats what your looking for.
Nope. That's a type of "insulating glass edge seal system" (from their web site).

I would go with "weather seal" when referring to the outer "rubber "gasket" which secures a thermal window pane into its frame".

There are "wet" seals and "dry" seals. "Dry" seals are those rubber one which are placed into the frame, while "wet" seals are "wet" applied sealant which is forced into the joint from a sealant (caulking type) gun, frequently those guns are pneumatically powered.
