Whirlpearl<\/strong>: \/w\u00c9\u2122rlp\u00c9\u2122rl<\/em>\/ 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 \u00e2\u20ac\u201d 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:<\/em> 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) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

Whirlpearling is exhausting…in fact, it can leave you nacre-ed!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Godfluffsaken<\/strong>: \/god-fluff-sa-k\u00c9\u2122n<\/em>\/ The godfluffsaken fibres of harshly tossed, spun, dried clothes are the only remnants of clean clothes. Etymology:<\/em> GODFLUFFSAKEN – from – FLUFF (light, downy particles) + GODFORSAKEN (deserted; neglected) Created by:<\/em> Stevenson0.<\/p>\n

Fibercentricks<\/strong>: \/fy bur sen trix<\/em>\/ It started when George T. Sampson invented the clothes dryer on June 7, 1892. His invention lint itself to, well, lint. Lint had never been manufactured in such large quantities before. This gave the idea to doctors that dryers seem to run better when they had lots of fiber. Perhaps that theory would work for humans, too. Analyzing the end product was the study of fibercentricks. Running trace evidence of dryer fiber gave scientists and criminologists the evidence that both socks had entered the dryer at the same time, but only one came out. Have all these missing socks been turned into piles of fluffy, fiberous lint? Or did Mr. Sampson have a more sinister trick up his sleeve when he made his now famous invention? This would be a hard case to unravel… Etymology:<\/em> Fibre (a thread or filament from which a plant or animal tissue, mineral substance, or textile is formed;dietary material containing substances such as cellulose, that are resistant to the action of digestive enzymes) & Cybercentrics (meeting of business ideas with the broadcast opportunutues of cyberspace) & Tricks (an attempt to get you to do something foolish or imprudent) Created by:<\/em> Nosila.<\/p>\n
