Scurryfunge
(v.) middle English; to rush around cleaning frantically, when company is on their way to your home. To clean briskly.
While the oldest known variations (1700s) relate more to scouring pots and pans, or even one’s children, the later variations are attributed to that panicked feeling you get when a long-lost friend calls you from a nearby rest stop, or your mother-in-law phones from the car to let you know she’s in your driveway.
