binlaneloyalty

/ˈbɪnˌleɪnˈlɔɪəlti/nounVerified New

Also in: Tonnenstellentreue (Deutsch) · contenedermancia (Español) · bacsolidaire (Français)

The solidarity formed among neighbors who wheel their bins to the same lane each week.

Binlaneloyalty is built from wheeling past each other in dressing gowns. Its rituals are small: the bin returned to its exact spot, the nod of the collection-day veterans. When one household forgets, the lane covers for them without comment, and the loyalty compounds silently, week on week.

Etym. — bin lane + loyalty — the brotherhood of the collection point.

Rel. — binpoliteness · fencetalk
