lintestate
/ˈlɪntˌɛsteɪt/nounVerified NewAlso in: Fusselnachlass (Deutsch) · peluherencia (Español) · peluchéritage (Français)
The household's accumulated dryer lint, an inheritance no one asked for and no one can disclaim.
The lintestate grows with every load and is collected, stored, and occasionally composted with a solemnity that surprises guests. It is the one estate every household holds, liquid in texture, illiquid in value; fire-hazard regulations give it more legal weight than the family silver.
Etym. — lint + estate — the dryer's bequest, settled in fluff.
Rel. — detergentestate
