puddlepilot

/ˈpʌdəlˈpaɪlət/nounVerified New

Also in: Pfützenpilot (Deutsch) · charcopiloto (Español) · flaquipilote (Français)

The child who navigates a pavement by touching every single puddle on it.

The puddlepilot reads the walk as a course and the puddles as gates. Their shoes are waterproof in name only, and their joy is proportional to depth. Parents adjust the route, and the pilot adjusts to the adjustment, finding the puddle behind the van.

Etym. — puddle + pilot — the navigator of the wet pavement.

Rel. — puddledevoted · dawdlespeed
