Sentence: Every night the battle ensued...of the detergentinsurgents. Too dumb to establish a rota or work together, they fought blindly every night over who would get stuck doing the dishes. Finally in an effort to stop the racket every night, the neighbours bought them paper plates and plastic utensils and peace was restored. When thanked, they just said "Forketaboutit!"
Etymology: Detergent (cleansing agent used to wash dishes) & Insurgents (a person who takes part in an armed rebellion against the constituted authority;in opposition to a civil authority or government)
