Remnut<\/strong>: \/rihm-nuht<\/em>\/ With great pride, her widower dad had always considered himself frugal–he paid his bills on time, he didn’t buy anything on credit, he saved every nut and bolt from every house he ever lived in, he had re-soled shoes from the 1960’s he might wear again. It carried over into the fridge which she cleaned when she felt brave enough. In that cold and usually dark place, she would find shriveled halves of tomatoes, mold-laden cheese, jars with one or two olives or pickles floating around, several containers with an inch of milk and unknown liquid remaining, heels of bread, packaged globs of what used to be spinach. She sighed at these remnants of meals past. Her dear old dad was a remnut! At least he was making good food choices. Etymology:<\/em> Using REMNANT, meaning a usually small part or trace remaining + NUT, meaning a foolish, eccentric or crazy person Created by:<\/em> readerwriter.<\/p>\n

Specktraitor<\/strong>: \/spek – tray – tor<\/em>\/ When it comes to cleaning out the fridge and replacing old containers and bottles, Jerry is merely a specktraitor. He watches Betsy do this job herself because he is lazy and sometimes purposely leaves just a speck of something just so he won’t have to replace it. Etymology:<\/em> speck (the tiniest amount, just barely noticeable; smaller than a pinch) spectator (One who observes), traitor (double-crosser) Created by:<\/em> mweinmann.<\/p>\n

Dribletarian<\/strong>: \/dribliter\u00c4\u201c\u00c9\u2122n<\/em>\/ Mark’s girlfriend Judy is a humanitarian, vegetarian, librarian. Mark is a dribletarian, the keeper of the small and insignificant, the Grand Poobah of dribs and drabs, the Rajah of remnants. Judy thinks he is just a lazy slob who doesn’t want to crack out a new bottle of ketchup. Etymology:<\/em> driblet (a small or insignificant amount) + arian (having a concern or belief in a specified thing) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

Leftovert<\/strong>: \/left-o-vert<\/em>\/ Harry was a habitual leftovert. He flagrantly and knowingly left bits and scraps of his voracious appetite in his refrigerator with no intention of dealing with them, nor any remorse for their abandonment. As difficult as it is to cure leftoversion, Jenna made it more so by being his enabler. She made excuses for him and tried to conceal his lazyfare attitude by blaming herself for not being more like her hero, Martha Stewart. Etymology:<\/em> Leftover: a vestige of a meal that is usually saved in the refrigerator with the intention of being reused before it petrifies or turns multicolored + overt: open, implicit or flagrant Created by:<\/em> mrskellyscl.<\/p>\n
