lostpropertyorbit
/ˌlɒstˈprɒpətiˈɔːbɪt/nounVerified NewAlso in: Fundsachenorbit (Deutsch) · perdórbita (Español) · perduorbite (Français)
The gravitational field of the school's lost-property box, through which every jumper passes at least once.
The lostpropertyorbit collects named and unnamed garments in equal measure and holds them in orbit until claimed or adapted. Parents visit the box on their knees, reading collars like scripture. Every family has recovered from it a jumper they never owned, which the regime re-labels immediately.
Etym. — lost property + orbit — the celestial mechanics of the school box.
