pairfamine

Also in: paararm (Deutsch) · parehambruna (Español) · pafamine (Français)

Describing the laundry-day state of having zero matched socks available.

The pairfamine morning is spent in the sockorphanage, holding candidates against the light. Two mismatched socks are chosen for their mutual respect rather than their history, and the day proceeds in quiet protest. The famine ends only when the dryer returns the multiverse's exports, which it does without explanation.

Etym. — pair + famine — the shortage of matched socks, felt at the ankle.

Rel. — sockorphanage
