screwpurgatory
/ˈskruː pəˈɡɔːtəri/nounVerified NewAlso in: Schraubenfegefeuer (Deutsch) · tornipurgatorio (Español) · visgatoire (Français)
The jam jar of leftover screws and fittings, saved from every assembly, explained by no one.
Screwpurgatory holds the hardware that furniture did not use and assembly could not explain. Each screw was spared for a reason that expired the same evening. The jar is shaken occasionally, admired, and never emptied, because the one time it is, a chair will need a screw, and it will not be there.
Etym. — screw + purgatory — souls neither binned nor used, waiting forever.
