SCURRYFUNGE — [Noun] The frantic, last-minute tidying done between spotting a visitor and their knock at the door. From English dialect (18th–19th c.), possibly from 'scurry' (to move hurriedly) + 'funge' (obscure, possibly related to 'funk' or 'fumble'). Unlike 'clean' (which implies methodical effort) or 'tidy' (which suggests habitual order), scurryfunge is the desperate ballet of emergency housekeeping—a performance of domestic competence staged in stolen seconds. It is the sock kicked under the couch, the dishes shoved into the oven, the stack of mail flattened beneath a cushion—a fleeting illusion of control, as fragile as the moment before the doorbell rings.
