Each textile entered singly, justified by a chair, a season, or a sale; collectively they have annexed the living room's function. Throwflation's clearing time now exceeds its warming benefit for most sitters. Guests fold and stack with the patience of customs officers.
Etym. — throw + -flation, on the -flation family (friendflation's softer cousin): quantity inflating, utility diluted.
Rel. — friendflation
