streetlampscars
/ˈstriːtˌlæmpˌskɑːz/nounVerified NewAlso in: Laternennarben (Deutsch) · farolmarca (Español) · lampadbrûle (Français)
The scorch marks on the street lamp where every childhood bonfire night was held, illegally and warmly.
The streetlampscars record the gathering point by heat damage. The lamp survived; the tradition survived; the council never knew. The scars are pointed out to new residents as heritage, and the lamp still works, which is the miracle the street quotes.
Etym. — street lamp + scars — the battle damage of the annual gathering.
