swipeabsolution
/ˌswaɪpˌæbsəˈluːʃən/nounVerified NewThe ritual mass-clearing of notifications and badges in one sitting, performed for relief rather than reading.
Midnight, thumb down the list, everything marked seen — nothing actually read, everything officially handled. The gesture owes something to religious absolution: the debt is wiped, not paid. Swipeabsolution is the recurring sacrament of the overloaded.
Etym. — *swipe* + *absolution*; clearing as forgiveness rather than completion. Five syllables, kept whole because the liturgical root is the point.
