crunchling (n.)
1. The sound a meeting makes when it folds in on itself.
2. A portmanteau with no known parent words and no surviving witnesses.
3. The precise register of understanding that is not understanding but feels adjacent to it — warm, nodding, convinced.
4. (Marine biology, disputed) A juvenile stage between the cow and the coconut, occurring only in the Pacific Ocean???
5. What the diagram meant to say.
6. What everyone agreed it said anyway.
7. The feeling in the room after.
The Overlap Zone
You are the overlap zone of a Venn diagram containing a cow and a coconut — tap to absorb each nodding face before the meeting ends and everyone agrees they understood something that was never said.
