launderette

Where you go when you gotta get some clothes washed/dried and you don't want anyone to know.

They got a bunch of coin-operating machines. These places aren't as common, but you can still find 'em if you search. Some of them let you dry your clothes for only 25¢ - at least the grimy looking launderette in my town does that.
I don't know what happened, but somehow I messed up my pants. I swear I don't know how that happened. Anyways... I'm headed over to the launderette - it'll be a waste of water and electricity to use all that energy on just my pants... but I just gotta do it.

laundry-mat

A place where poor people go to clean their clothes, then they reuse them.
From Will & Grace: Season 5, Episode 21, Dolls and Dolls

KAREN: What is this place? It's pretty.

KAREN KNOCKS ON THE GLASS WINDOW OF A DRYER.

KAREN: Where are the fish?

JACK: No, Karen. It is a "laundry-mat." People come here to clean their clothes. Then, they reuse them.

KAREN: Why, poor people are just plain clever. I wonder why they can't figure out a way to make more money.

JACK SHRUGS.

Launderetiquette

Launderetiquette is the often unspoken rules or etiquette and culture around using a launderette.

Although a poster may decalre that, "those using washers have priority use of driers", it's not always obvious who's gets to use any particulary piece of machinery, washer or drier.

Launderetiquette is the angst felt by many novice launderer.
Stephen (at the launderette): Uh, sorry guys, I'm not trying to push in, but is that drier free? Only, I'm not sure what the launderetiquette is round here!
Nigel: That's my drier! You'll have to wait! You can't just wander in here and start using driers - can't you see the sign?

Reference Laundering

An article, poll, study, etc. which on face value would be dismissed, that is cited in progressively more reputable sources, until the original nonsense has credibility.
Person1: “I read on Politico that intero-recto-gestion is actually healthier then eating with your mouth.”
Person2: “That article is total Reference Laundering. If you click on the reference, Politico cited Vox, who cited Mashable, who cited Unicorn Riot, who cited an Onion Article based on a South Park episode.”
Person1: “so I’ve been shoving food up my butt for no reason!”
