hostessbadge
/ˈhəʊstəsˈbædʒ/nounVerified NewAlso in: Gastgeberabzeichen (Deutsch) · anfitriinsignia (Español) · badgetesse (Français)
The invisible honor worn by whoever cooked, cleaned, and welcomed, awarded by the guests' faces.
The hostessbadge is earned weeks in advance and pinned on at the door. Its weight is felt in the second hour, when the host finally sits. Guests cite the badge in toasts, and the host wears it home, exhausted, decorated, and already planning the next ceremony.
Etym. — hostess + badge — the medal of the giving side.
