Word: kitchen sink Part of Speech: noun Etymology: The noun is derived from kitchen + sink. Sense 2.1 (“miscellaneous item or miscellany”) is probably from everything but the kitchen sink. The adjective is derived from the noun. Sense 1 (“of or pertaining to a realist style of painting characterized by scenes of dull or untidy domestic interiors of urban working-class people”) was coined by the British art critic David Sylvester (1924–2001) in a December 1954 article entitled “The Kitchen Sink”: see the quotation. The verb is a back-formation from kitchen-sinking (noun), which is derived from the noun. Pronunciation: /ˌkɪt͡ʃ(ɪ)n ˈsɪŋk/, /ˌkɪt͡ʃ(ə)n ˈsɪŋk/ 1. A sink in a kitchen used for washing crockery, cutlery, utensils, food, etc., and disposing of waste. Example: The kitchen sink was piled high with dirty dishes. Example: The present trouble centres round the kitchen sink. It is cracked and leaks. 2. A miscellaneous item or a miscellany, especially exemplifying an indiscriminate profusion. Labels: also, attributive, figuratively Example: They threw the kitchen sink at the problem, but still couldn’t fix it. Example: The April 1994 issue of Washingtonian ran an article by my friend Andrew Ferguson about corporate "multicultural training". Andy quoted one of the trainers (or facilitators, as they like to be called), whose job it is to instill "sensitivity" about age, race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, and the kitchen sink into employees of Washington businesses: […] 3. In chained or tied to the kitchen sink, etc.: domestic chores or housework, especially when regarded as menial and tedious. Labels: figuratively, metonymically 4. A thing regarded as defiled due to corruption, immorality, etc. Labels: figuratively, obsolete Example: Jack used to be a clever man, though I say so who shouldn't. Government has eaten him up. All his ideas and powers of conversation—he really used to be a good talker, even to his wife, in the old days—are taken from him by this—this kitchen-sink of a Government. That's the case with every man up here who is at work.
