Sentence: Everyone who went to the Eastside Laundry mat knew to avoid dryer 7. Anytime anyone would stick an article of clothing in dryer 7, they would soon find out it would never be the same. Sweaters, underwear, and kilts all maimed by this dryer's curse. It would plaster a fluffy fiber substance all over the clothes, like leeches on an amazon swimmer.

Fed up with looking at the dryer collect dust, or give it, he decided to explore the hated machine. After opening the door, he looked in and suddenly gained Enlintenment, he had finally realized what was causing this community headache. He reached in the into despised appliance and pulled out a small unknown mammal. After a few minutes of empty runs, he was able to throw his load into the machine and saved the community from further "furmoil"

Pronunciation: wash and tair

Sentence: Joe decided he really didn’t need a new watch – he had a cell phone. Where did that receipt for the watch go!? And, where did he leave his phone this time? Joe remembered he left his trousers on the floor, a sign indicating their need of a wash. He stealthily made his way downstairs in the dark to the basement laundrytank, opened the hatch and began rummaging through cool clothing tangles. Ah! there they were! Joe deftly slipped a cold hand into his trouser pocket, then, the other – no phone. However, he did pull out the damp washntears of what appeared to be his receipt! After careful washntearing apart the washntear, he had managed to see faded scrawls on paper tears, of what, he could not read. He looked at the new watch on his wrist: at least he had the time!

Etymology: washntear n or v. A play on the marketing term "washnwear". It is from "washnwear", material that purports to need no ironing after washing and "tear", to pull apart, ruin.

Pronunciation: wərlpərl

Sentence: After John retired he had to find things to keep himself busy. Sometimes it was shopping, sometimes sorting his clothes by color and hue. But today there would be none of that. Last night after doing the laundry he had found a whirlpearl — one of those time capsules of thoughts or actions past. Was it a receipt? Perhaps a shopping list, maybe even a prescription for his new OCD medication. He wouldn't know until he unfurled the various layers of this nugget. This was a particularly good one. It had escaped detection after the washing and had hard-baked through the dryer cycle. He could hardly wait.

Etymology: Whirlpool(major appliance manufacturer) + pearls (a hard, lustrous spherical mass, typically white or bluish-gray, formed within the shell of a pearl oyster or other bivalve mollusk and highly prized as a gem)
