voiceheirloom

/ˈvɔɪsˌheəluːm/nounVerified New

Also in: Stimmerbe (Deutsch) · vozherencia (Español) · héritvoix (Français)

A saved voice message from a departed relative, replayed for the voice rather than the content.

The message is usually trivial — a reminder about a prescription, a laugh at their own joke — which is precisely why it is kept. Voiceheirlooms are played on birthdays and hard nights. The waveform outlived the voice.

Etym. — voice + heirloom — the inheritance that plays instead of sits.

Rel. — jokeheirloom · posthumousping
