LIT

LIT (Laundry in transition)

A term used generally by milennials to refer to clothing that has already been worn but doesn't yet necessitate washing.

Typical LIT designated locations are chairs, beds, floors, couches, etc.

- Man, I just bought so much clothes that I need to get a bigger couch for my LIT.
