shoppinglistghost
/ˈʃɒpɪŋlɪst ɡəʊst/nounVerified NewAlso in: Einkaufslistengeist (Deutsch) · listafantasma (Español) · listefantôme (Français)
The list written at home, consulted nowhere, and left behind on the counter.
The shoppinglistghost performs its duty in spirit only: its author recalls "there was a list" at aisle two and shops by instinct. The list waits at home beside the keys, covering for them. At unpacking, the list is found, read with dismay, and pinned to the fridge as a lesson nobody studies.
Etym. — shopping list + ghost — the list that haunts the counter, not the shop.
Rel. — aislecraft · basketdrift
