Clothesbury

Clothesbury: verb. A religious practice involving the day to day burial of clothes for exhumation the next time they are needed. Clothesburying continues to be very popular among cultures in which people who are hanged, and consequently clothes that are hung, are a reprehensible insult to the earth. Whereas in the modern world, people use clothes hangers to hang their clothes, people espousing clothesburial use special clothesburiers - special sealed containers that can survive in the ground for hundreds of years.
