The single red sock whose escape into a white load rewrites history in pink.
Redsocktreason is discovered when the load opens and the whites emerge as a generation of sailors. One sock did this, and it will do it again, because it is never the one you check for. The household keeps the pink t-shirts as evidence, worn with a defiance that reads as forgiveness.
Etym. — red sock + treason — betrayal by laundry, executed in dye.
Rel. — delicatesfear
