crayonstubtrove
/ˈkreɪɒnˌstʌbˌtrəʊv/nounVerified NewAlso in: Wachsstummelschatz (Deutsch) · ceraludibrio (Español) · crayoboutin (Français)
The box of crayon fragments too short to hold, kept because throwing away a crayon is illegal.
The crayonstubtrove holds the final centimeters of every color, sorted loosely and sharpened rarely. Attempts to melt them into new crayons were made once, in 2019, and the results are also in the box. The trove grows yearly, and the rule against disposal is not written down because it does not need to be.
Etym. — crayon stub + trove — the treasury of the unthrowawayable.
Rel. — artworkcull
