Get the Despanding mug.
The opposite of expand.

Definition:
A word invented by me to describe the expand / despand area of a website normally associated with 'Anchors' where content can be contained in a 'Collapsible or un-collapsible' region and referenced in a web page by a hyperlinked statement, normally accessed and anchored to a question at the top of the web page.
Also used in non shakespeare style verb-age to describe someone who has 'eaten all the pies', thus further described as 'to expand or to despand, that is the fast food based question.'
