All of us, every last one of us, all over the world, have had a sock disappear while doing laundry. Where did it go? And how? This event frustrates and baffles us. And until now there has been word to describe it.
It’s high time to correct this oversight.

Check out my latest novel, the hilarious apocalyptic thriller, Do Lutheran Hunks Eat Mushrooms? It’s published by HumorOutcasts and is available in paperback or Kindle on amazon.com
I like Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary.
Three weeks ago, I put my Across the Spider-Verse socks into the cleaning machine thingy. When the quick roundy thing calmed down, I opened it and only one sock returned. I immediately put this down to soxportation but I can’t explain how/why Toby Maguire now lives with us.
I’m picturing a huge pile of socks on the far side of the Moon.
