thresholdbag
/ˈθrɛʃhəʊldˌbæɡ/nounVerified NewA bag of donations that lives by the door for months before completing its journey to a charity shop.
It is packed with real intent, passes through several "going out tomorrow"s, and becomes a fixture whose silhouette guests learn. Thresholdbags demonstrate that the hard part of giving things away is the last ten meters. Occasionally they are raided back into the wardrobe.
Etym. — threshold + bag — the object stalls exactly at the boundary it was packed to cross.
