bananawindow

/bəˈnɑːnə ˈwɪndəʊ/nounVerified New

Also in: Bananenfenster (Deutsch) · plataventana (Español) · bananêtre (Français)

The two-day period in which every banana in the bunch is simultaneously perfect.

The bananawindow opens on Tuesday and closes by Thursday, unannounced. Before it the fruit is starch; after it the peel is a warning. The household plans its banana eating around the window with varying success, and the one fruit that misses it is promoted, without ceremony, to banana bread.

Etym. — banana + window — the narrow gate of perfect ripeness.

Rel. — breadclock · nightthreeclause

Novelty check: APPROVE
