appmating
/ˈæpˌmeɪtɪŋ/nounVerified NewAlso in: App-Verkupplung (Deutsch) · apporrio (Español) · mariappage (Français)
The ritual suffering of pairing a new appliance with its phone app.
Appmating requires the appliance to blink in a pattern, the phone to be close enough but not too close, and the account to be one the household forgot it had. Each step fails once, by design. When the two finally join, the appliance celebrates with a chime nobody can turn off.
Etym. — app + mating — the courtship dance of device and phone, performed under protest.
Rel. — appunpaired · firmwaredusk
