For example calling a lego bucket "the forbidden lego bucket" because something horrible happened to said lego bucket like someone puking in it or something

My grandparents had, and Aunt now has, the "Couch of Death". Nothing morbid, but it's the most comfortable couch any of us have ever sat on. If you don't escape in the first 20 minutes, you're taking a nap wether you wanted to or not! They reupholstered that couch several times over 40 years, always in something ugly.

This couch exists at my mother-in-laws's house.

It's become the platonic ideal of a couch for everyone in my family. The ur-couch against which comparisons are made at the furniture store.

I'm so glad it has counterparts!
