fridgedig
/ˈfrɪdʒdɪɡ/nounVerified NewAlso in: Kühlausgrabung (Deutsch) · neveraqueología (Español) · frigofouille (Français)
The excavation of leftovers from the fridge's back strata.
A fridgedig proceeds in layers: modern yogurts first, then the middle kingdom of half-onions, then the ancient jar nobody claims. The dig is conducted at arm's length and ends at the discovery of something sealed that predates the household. What is found is either dinner or evidence, and the cook decides quickly.
Etym. — fridge + dig — archaeology conducted with a spoon and low light.
