Word Of The Indeterminate Period: Clothundrum

September 14th, 2007  |  Published in News  |  3 Comments

Preshrunk pal Matt Haughey just cooked up a damn good term that holds a lot of resonance for me seeing as how I own more than my fair share of “clever” shirts…

Clothundrum (n)

When a person that orders witty, nerdy, and humorous t-shirts on the internet, enough to make them the “funny t-shirt guy” in their hometown, needs to travel to a function that will include other people that order witty, nerdy, and humorous t-shirts on the internet and is having trouble packing. See also: conundrum, clothing.

This has happened to me more times than I care to imagine. I don’t even know how many times I’ve spent the night before I leave for a conference leafing thru my closet trying to pick the most choice tees that hopefully nobody else would rock. I even go so far as to carry a spare shirt in my laptop bag in case somebody shows up wearing the same shirt. Too much? Maybe. I’m just weird like that tho…

    Hahahaha! I just went through the same dilemma going the the Treasure Island Music Festival. I survived (at least I think, its a big event) by wearing this great one. 7.00 from Threadless

    Maybe that’s an idea for a tshirt designer out there: a tear-away tshirt for such tee faux-pas….or a tshirt that changes design when it detects your shame-related body heat increase.
