alarmpact
/əˈlɑːmˌpækt/nounVerified NewAlso in: Weckerpakt (Deutsch) · despertapacto (Español) · révepak (Français)
The deal struck nightly with the alarm: five more minutes, honorably dishonored by morning.
The alarmpact is renegotiated at 6:40 and breached at 6:40. Its terms are generous and its enforcement is snooze. Both parties — the sleeper and the clock — know the contract is theater, and the theater runs daily, with a matinee on weekends.
Etym. — alarm + pact — the treaty between bed and morning.
Rel. — lieingrace
Novelty check: APPROVE
