truffledogging (verb)
1. Human Edition: The art of digging through the same junk pile, drawer, or bag over and over again, convinced the thing you lost must be there, only to find everything but what you're looking for. Inevitably, the lost item resurfaces three days later in plain sight, mocking you.
2. Dog Edition: When your dog goes full chaotic archaeologist, tearing through blankets, pillows, and pile of laundry, launching objects into orbit, all in pursuit of crumbs, forgotten toys, or literally nothing. Bonus points if they leave a scene of pure devastation.
Example: "My dog started truffledogging on the couch last night. He didn’t find food, but I found my ex’s sock from 2019."
Origins: Combines “truffle hunting” (thanks, pigs) with “dogging” (thanks, chaos). Together, they form a perfect storm of fruitless effort and glorious mess.
