candlewishrush

/ˈkændəlˈwɪʃˌrʌʃ/nounVerified New

Also in: Kerzenwunschrausch (Deutsch) · deseosoplo (Español) · souffsouhait (Français)

The speed at which a birthday wish must be made before the candles are declared out by the wind.

The candlewishrush compresses a year of reflection into three seconds, outdoors. The wish is made anyway, twice, and its duplication is not discussed. Singers stretch the song to help, and the rush ends in laughter, smoke, and one wish that was actually about the cake.

Etym. — candle wish + rush — the timed miracle of the breath.

Rel. — cakewind

Novelty check: APPROVE
