laundry meltdown

1. A catastrophic failure condition that exists when one needs to SCRAM or STOP the washer machine after the water spills out onto the floor from a lose drainage hose or other operational malfunction that causes its H2O content to breach the machine's containment vessel and thus spilling out onto the floor. An secondary condition known as China Syndrome can also become evident if the said washer machine is located on an upper floor of your house.
2. A rare condition of when a dryer can get into such a state when one eventually notices burn holes in their clothing upon removing them.

That idiot up on the 3rd floor must have had laundry meltdown last night because my bathroom and closet area looked like f*ing Niagra Falls, and the neighbor form down stairs who speaks Chinese came banging on my door screaming and yelling obscenities at me in two different languages! It was an absolute China Syndrome.

Laundry Rock

Overproduced, melodic, often folky and/or sometimes "indie" sounding music used in advertisements by large companies to market their products and services to young and/or hip consumers. There is a caveat to this definition as sometimes well established bands and artists license their music to these very companies for use in such advertisements. The term itself refers to laundry detergent ads, which are repeat offenders for this type of "la-la," feel good music.

Typically, acoustic guitars, glockenspiels, banjos and electro-mechanical keyboards (such as a wurlitzer piano) are common timbres heard in a laundry rock piece. Also common are soft sounding, layered male or female vocals.

Band: The Postal Service
Song: "Such great Heights"
ad: Intel based Apple Computers

Band: Wilco
Song: "Walken"
ad: VW Automobile

laundry movie

Any short to feature length film that one can easily walk away from for a few minutes at a time and get the jist of the characteristics (i.e. characters, editing, angles, story).

Tricia had a night planned that must've been the envy of all her friends...last night before taxes; laundry movie and some wine... they'd have to be jealous.

drunk laundry

the act of completing something mildly productive while wasted

Mandy had way too much of things and ended up home early on Friday. Instead of wasting time online posting nonsense and feeling like her life was trash, she did some drunk laundry and Saturday morning seemed more promising

laundry hell

Laundry hell is a laundry situation that has gotten utterly out of control. Huge piles of laundry are in every room. Sometimes even renting a small trailer in order to haul all of the laundry off to the laundry mat seems to be in order. During an extreme case a person could run an entire town out of quarters before it is over.

I've got so much laundry to do I feel like I've died and gone to laundry hell.

Laundry Crumbs

The few remaining pieces of clothing that are at the bottom of a dryer (consisting usually of socks and underwear).

"Hold that thought, I'm just going to go empty the dryer."

"Okay, don't forget to check for laundry crumbs!"
