The household vote held at the open fridge on whether the thing smells off.
The smellreferendum convenes with the container held aloft and passed around like a ballot. Votes are cast with noses and counted with faces. A split verdict sends the item to the compost as a treaty between caution and waste, and the smell itself never testifies twice.
Etym. — smell + referendum — democracy conducted by nose.
