The drawer not la-beled [thuh DRAWR not ley-buhld] n.
1. An unmarked pull-out storage compartment used to store a specific item
2. A term always followed by the name of the item it stores, usually some kind of lab equipment
Language of Origin: Girominian to Fisixian
Mr. Giromini has a bunch of drawers in his room, and most are unlabeled. I know that the scissors drawer does say "Scissors," but beyond that I can't name many more. I get the feeling that he wishes they were labeled, but never feels like labeling them. Of course that's just my take on the situation. So, he's taken to referring to drawers by "The drawer not labeled [the item it contains]." For example:
Fisixian: Mr. Giromini, where are the protractors?
Mr. Giromini, pointing to the drawer in question: Right there, in the drawer not labeled "Protractors."
This sentence serves as a witty concluding sentence to this post, which otherwise might not have one.
