Boorance

n.
an unassuming feature of our daily lives that will eventually come off as the bizarre relic of a bygone era, that’ll make us look back in shock that we ever thought it was normal to bless each other’s sneezes, drive cars by hand, swim in chlorinated pools, keep animals in zoos, or feel clean using little else but toilet paper—things that we never think to question, because that’s just what people did “back then.”

From boor, an ill-mannered person + hence, in the future from now. Pronounced “boor-uhns.”
