trophyshelfdust

/ˈtrəʊfiˌʃɛlfˌdʌst/nounVerified New

Also in: Pokalstaub (Deutsch) · trofeopolvo (Español) · trophoussière (Français)

The layer settling on childhood trophies kept for the seasons they represent, not the sport.

Trophyshelfdust marks the small gold men and plaques that survived every house move. Their sports are forgotten; their summers are not. The shelf is dusted for visitors and explained to guests with names, teams, and one final that is still, in the household's law, unjust.

Etym. — trophy shelf + dust — the patina on the altar of small glory.

Rel. — ticketstubarchive · golfslicestory
