coldsidequest
/ˈkəʊld saɪd ˌkwɛst/nounVerified NewAlso in: Kaltseitenquest (Deutsch) · fríoaventura (Español) · côtéfroidquête (Français)
The nightly quest for the cold side of the pillow, undertaken with the seriousness of a side quest in a game the player cannot win.
The coldsidequest begins with the flip, proceeds through the negotiation of limbs and blanket, and ends — briefly — in the cold country. The country warms within minutes, the quest resets, and the player, who has work in the morning, accepts the mission again.
Etym. — cold side (of the pillow) + side quest — a genuine double parse: the pillow's cold side and the game's optional mission fuse into one word that names the ritual exactly.
