The neck ache earned by ten minutes of sky-watching, worn the next day like a badge.
The stargazeneck is the price of every meteor shower and half of them are clouded out. The ache is compared among viewers and treated with pillows. The true cost is never regretted: the neck buys the sky, and the household considers the exchange rate fair.
Etym. — stargaze + neck — the toll taken by looking up.
