lost socks
Vanished after washing
Lost socks are the socks that mysteriously disappear in the laundry, particularly in the dryer, leaving their mates behind.
The phenomenon is so universal it has become a running joke about domestic life: Where do all the lost socks go?
The plural form treats the category as a collective mystery rather than individual missing items.
