grandmeetlore

/ˈɡrændˌmiːt ˌlɔː/nounVerified New

Also in: Familiengründungsmythos (Deutsch) · famfundamito (Español) · fondmythe (Français)

The family's official, embellished account of how the grandparents met, retold until it replaced the truth.

Every family holds one grandmeetlore: the rain, the bus, the borrowed umbrella. Each retelling adds weather and removes doubt. The actual meeting, if anyone remembers it, is politely outvoted.

Etym. — grand + meet + lore — the origin story of the origin story.

Rel. — storyrerun · storyraised
