rinsefaction
/ˈrɪnsˌfækʃən/nounVerified NewThe household faction holding that dishes must be rinsed before the dishwasher, opposed to the faction holding that the machine exists precisely so they need not.
The dispute is doctrinal, not practical — both parties cite the same manual and both claim the science. Rinsefaction splits couples, parents and teenagers, and visitors, and is re-litigated whenever a new machine arrives. No household resolves it; one side merely stops speaking of it.
Etym. — rinse + faction — a schism with a liturgy, fought in suds.
