The claim staked on the good chair, held by occupation and surrendered only at gunpoint of dinnertime.

The readingspotveto applies to the corner seat with the lamp and the armrests. Its holder is advertised by an open book and a folded blanket. Other readers circle, wait, and sit elsewhere with dignity, and the veto transfers only when the holder falls asleep mid-chapter, which is the customary handover.

Etym. — reading spot + veto — the ownership of the best chair, claimed by book.

Rel. — chapterdormancy

Novelty check: APPROVE
