storyrerun

/ˈstɔːriˌriːrʌn/nounVerified New

Also in: Erzählwiederholung (Deutsch) · rerellato (Español) · récidiffusion (Français)

A family story retold so often that listeners can recite it along with the teller.

The teller improves it each pass; the audience mouths the punchline like a chorus. Storyreruns are how a family rehearses itself — nobody requests them and nobody truly wants them cancelled.

Etym. — story + rerun — broadcast vocabulary for oral tradition.

Rel. — quarrelencore · storyraised
