snackfiefdom

/ˈsnækˈfiːfdəm/nounVerified New

Also in: Snackfürstentum (Deutsch) · picoteofeudo (Español) · grignofief (Français)

The snack shelf divided into territories, each held by a household member against all comers.

The snackfiefdom maps the cupboard: the top shelf is the grown-ups' chocolate, the middle is the children's, and the drawer belongs to whoever labeled it. Incursions happen and are avenged at dinner, verbally. Borders are respected more reliably than the pantryillusion, and treaties are honored until a long weekend.

Etym. — snack + fiefdom — the cupboard's feudal geography.

Rel. — snackpatrol · pantryillusion
