Pronunciation: rihm-lihnt

Sentence: Mrs. Edith Estelle Austin won prizes every year for her orchids. She had shared with no one her secret: she was sure it was the rimlint she had the pleasure of gathering from her dryer. After each load, she would run the tips of her fingers over the soft links of metal in the screen at the edge of the dryer's round mouth. Next, she ran the fluff over the drippings of laundry detergent always left on top of the dryer, cleaning it in the process--oh, the joys of housekeeping!. Kept in a jar, over the course of a few months, the thoroughly moistened rimlint would ferment. When perfected, she would dilute the brew with water and add a teaspoon or so each time she watered her orchids. She also found rubbing it on her elbows helped her arthritis.

Etymology: Combination of RIM, the outer edge of something + LINT, fine bits of fiber or fluff; also a play on REMNANT, something left over

All the effluvium of the dryer compresses itself into fyberspace and waits in the lint trap until it overflows and can jump out and run free on the laundry floor. It ultimately is the laundry lint limbo, the precursor of the washday blues and a reason to sneeze twenty times.
