teatowelstatus

The tea towel's rank in the kitchen, read at a glance: the dry one, the wet one, and the one for hands only.
Teatowelstatus is enforced by hanging position. The rail holds the honor towel; the oven handle holds the working towel; anything on the counter has retired. Mixing the ranks brings correction from whoever holds tea towel seniority, an office that exists in every kitchen and is never applied for.
Etym. — tea towel + status — the heraldry of hanging cloths.
Rel. — dishclothcontinuum · guestgrade
