ironboardplateau

/ˈaɪənbɔːd ˈplætəʊ/nounVerified New

Also in: Bügelplateau (Deutsch) · plancaeterna (Español) · repassplateau (Français)

The ironing board's conversion, after week two, into permanent hallway furniture.

The ironboardplateau begins with good intentions propped open for "just this pile." By the second week the board holds coats, keys, and the post, and its original purpose is discussed in the past tense. Ironing elsewhere is impossible now, which suits everyone, and the plateau supports the household's life as stably as any table.

Etym. — ironing board + plateau — the elevated state the board reaches and never leaves.

Rel. — ironpile · ironshy
