Stack of Pancakes

/stak PAN-kakes DIE-ner/  n.
  1. 1. A multi-layered assembly of pancakes, each disk contributing to a cumulative profile of impressive verticality and surface area, found predominantly in diner settings.
  2. 2. colloq. An openly dense breakfast monument, built wide and tall, anchoring the table like a culinary high-rise.
In a sentence:

"The plate arrived with a stack so thiccc, the syrup stood at attention, contemplating the climb."

Etymology:

From Middle English 'stak' (heap, pile) + Old French 'pancake' (pan-cooked cake). Just as gravity defines the universe, so syrup defines the stack.

From the desk

Filed by

Eliza HartwellStaff Writer

Each layer is a commitment, and this stack has committed repeatedly, without apology.

Ruling ADMITTED, WITH A FOOTNOTE

Bart PrussSenior Cataloguer

Multi-layered verticality with documented syrup consideration is sufficient for the catalogue. 'Stood at attention' is not a measurement of viscosity.

In the margin

Teddy VanceJunior Cataloguer

The syrup does not simply pour on this stack. It has to plan a route. That is not breakfast, that is an expedition.
