ironpile

/ˈaɪənˌpaɪl/nounVerified New

Also in: Bügelberg (Deutsch) · planchimontón (Español) · repassetas (Français)

The standing monument of clothes designated for ironing "later."

The ironpile accepts new members weekly and releases none. It is consulted when a shirt is needed and defied when a shirt is needed. Every household has one; some have two, which is how you know the household has given up.

Etym. — iron + pile — the honest name for the part of laundry that never becomes laundry again.
